5,000 years in the future, humanity faces total extermination. Our one defence: highly-trained soldiers who scour the metal-strewn blackness of space to hunt down a terrifying enemy: an insect life-form known only as 'Bugs.'

This is the story of trooper Johnny Rico, from his idealistic enlistment in the infantry of the future through his rigorous training to the command of his own platoon. And his destiny is a war that will span the galaxy.

Robert A. Heinlein announced himself as a master of modern science fiction with Starship Troopers, his controversial take on modern military politics. His best-known novels include The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and Stranger in a Strange Land

    I’m going to go in a different direction from those who have posted so far. For me this book is basically a military lecture dressed in a very thin science fiction plot, and I wouldn’t recommend it. I’ve been on a bit of a classic sci fi run recently, and have also read the likes of Childhood’s End, I Am Legend and Flowers for Algernon, and I thought all of those were excellent, so it’s not the fact that it’s dated. And I’m glad I read it for the sake of reading the book behind the film and what is generally considered to be a classic, and if people want to do the same then that’s fine. I also acknowledge that I may be in a minority. But I just don’t think it’s very good book at all.

    Excellent novel. Very different to the film adaptation, but both are fantastic in their own ways.

    Wrote some great stuff, this was one of them. As was "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" "Stranger In A Strange Land" "Citizen Of The Galaxy" and many others

    This is a genuinely great novel which is thought provoking. While the film uses this as the source material it goes in a totally different direction with it. A must for any sci-fi nerds.
