Starship Troopers

In one of Robert Heinlein’s most controversial bestsellers, a recruit of the future goes through the toughest boot camp in the Universe–and into battle with the Terran Mobile Infantry against mankind’s most frightening enemy.

This book was made into a decent movie that was spun off into a terrible sequel.

I am not a fan of the movies, but I do love this book.

I like most of Heinlein’s books, but this is probably my favorite.  I like the idea that you have to serve to vote, but I am not so hard that I think that the service must be in the military.

Not everyone is cut out for Starship Troopers Mobile Infantry.

I disagree with the Amazon quote that this is Heinlein’s most controversial work – I think Farnham’s Freehold easily wins that title.  I also think that Freehold may be my favorite Heinlein book if Starship Troopers ever dropped in Status.
