In Robert A. Heinlein’s controversial Hugo Award-winning bestseller, a recruit of the future goes through the toughest boot camp in the Universe—and into battle against mankind’s most alarming enemy …

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids.

Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job …

The book gives a look at milltary life without overtly shoving it into our face. The reveals were subdued like in life, they were not the focus but nice nodds to how real life is. I don't want to contrast this with the movie, they did uses some of the books sources meterial but too obvious poetic license. As a stand alone book we'll woth the listen. I could listen to R. C. Bray read a phone book.

Amazing SIFI milltary drama

My experience with Starship Troopers was limited to the movie. Now that I have listened to the book I can say that it is not only different but also vastly superior to the film.

The book is an autobiography of a career soldier delivered in real time that is as much about philosophy and civics as it is war and action. I expected the casual listening of an action yarn and instead found myself thinking about the topics being discussed.

And, of course, R.C. Bray brought his A game and gave the whole story his signature sense of speed and urgency.

Starship Troopers was well worth the wait and I will no doubt be listening to it again.

Good story with great narration.
