"Major" is putting it mildly, CoR - if I was in the habit of giving strong advice, and if Starship Troopers was the first RAH that you've read (which I think you said somewhere), I would say leave Stranger for a little while and try The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, or Tunnel in the Sky, or something a wee bit less...ummm.... unique than that one.

(Edit) Crossing posts, CoR - but I'd still stand by my advice. TMIAHM is not really a juvenile, in my opinion, and carries on a lot of RAH's views on politics from ST.
