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 …

I first read Robert Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" when I was 18 years old. It is a great story, with appealing and relatable characters, and it gave me somethings to think about. It helped me think about my responsibilities as an adult and a citizen, and particularly about the importance of my vote.

I've re-read "Starship Troopers" about once a year since then, and I think RC Bray's new narration really brings a lot. I honestly laughed out loud at Sergeant Zim's dialogue, especially. Bray makes the quiet moments pleanent and the tense moments exciting.

RC Bray brings new fun to this SF Classic

RC Bray is the best. Preordered the book and despite many delays it was worth the wait. Fantastic.

The instructors and high school teachers spitting out pure gold. Really good book. It’s a tad on the dated side but overall a must read.

Fantastic

good book even though its not new. Bray never fails in his narration, his voice always increases the enjoyment of an audio book.

What can I say, I never read the book and only watched the movie, but wow was this amazing. I'm equally glad they had the mindset to use the best narrator out there!

Absolutely brilliant!
