Summary
 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.

So similar yet different to the movie. Enjoyed the deeper explanation for citizenship and what it really means to be Mobile Infantry.

Starship Troopers... narated by RC Bray,... it just doesn't get much better than this!

Many thanks

It’s a book about improving the human race through sacrifice while facing the threat of extinction.
Similar to the movie but more detailed and extra twists.
Technology is great, preinternet but quite close in some ways to what we have without the downsides.

Hardworking characters.

I cannot believe this book was first published in 1959!! It feels as contemporary and better written than most of the things in its category today.
I'm so stoked I came across it!
I loved the movie but never knew it was based on a book.

Wow!!! This book should get me Love!
