Personally I thought the Starship Troopers book sucked. Whoever tried to write had obviously never seen the film, or wasn't paying attention.

*dogscoff ducks

LOL AHAHAHAHAHAHA LOL LOL HAHAHAHAHA I do so hope you are kidding with that line Doggy SST the book came first!!!

Yeah the name of Starship Troopers the sequal (book) is supposed to be something like "Combat Commmand" or something but I haven't been able to find it at all and am thinking I Just suffered from a bad joke

Well that just shows how bad it was. The guy who wrote the book obviously didn't get it all as I said in my first post, so they had to make the film to straighten him out. Hopefully now the film is out, ppl will forget about the book.

OMG. That is just so horrible.. It is not even funny. Please; this joke has gone way to far.

Heinlin is one of the top SciFi writers ever; he is up there with Asimov and the guy who did Battlefield:Earth (Man, that was a good book...). His books are wonderful pokings and proddings at all number of things, with some wonderful and witty thought thrown in (porcupine defense... sounds like fun. How about telepaths on the ships exploring the galaxy? Classic.).

I mean, it is impossible to not like him, so please, cut the joke.

Yeah, that was a great film. THat was the one with John Travolta wasn't it? Loved that film, probably the only scifi film as good as SST.

BTW, have you heard they're bringing out books of the LotR films? I bet they suck...

Speaking of "LotR" and "Battlefield Earth", I've heard that JRR Tolkien, who wrote the "LotR" scripts, was such a fan of L. Ron Hubbard that he named the chief Rivendell elf after him.

It's humor, Ron.

I just hope everyone's joking about Battlefield Earth being any good. Three weeks of my life I want back.

I hate to say this, but I never read starship troopers.

Nor did I read Battlefield Earth and we all know how that movie turned out. I did however read the Black Hole as my first big book without pictures, and I did that in the fifth grade.

Dina Meyer (Diz) also played the Romulan commander in ST:Nemesis

AT, I totally recommend Starship Troopers. As said before, it's nothing like the movie so just forget about what you saw in the movie. Starship Troopers was recommended to me in grade school. It was my first science fiction book. The rest is history.

Regarding the Black Hole... I read a book called that and it was made into that (Disney?) movie. Are we talking about the same one? Where the mad scientist has a ship on the edge of a black hole. The mad scientist has figured out how to shield his ship from gravity and he has transformed all his human crew into zombie-like servants?
