About this listen

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.

I have always enjoyed Heinlein's Sci fi stories but his right wing political theories tend to shine through, hurting the plot in my opinion. Remember this is not the movies which poke fun at his right wing half baked theories, instead Heinlein argues that through military service one becomes a full citizen. His justification is that "it works" so it should not be changed.The Story us enjoyable just ignore the politics.

Great story, shame about the. political theory.

I was lost in the story such that I hadn't expected. I was compelled by the intention of the political philosophy outside of my own leanings, fascinating journey.

detail and consistency made it feel very real
