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.

Great performance of a classic book, well thought out and tight - you can see how so much modern sci fi has drawn from this - definately doesn't feel like a book old enough to draw a pension!

easy to listen to, thought provoking classic sci-fi
