Starship Troopers
by Robert A. Heinlein
(Four Square, 1961)
Not sure there’s much I can say about this one that hasn’t already been said, except:
1. I picked it up for 50p in a Nottingham charity shop. Condition = WRECKED.
2. The book itself may be astoundingly disagreeable fascistic hokum, but this cover illustration is the very epitome of old school two-fisted sci-fi hoo-hah, and for that I love it.
