It is the Terran Federation - dominated by a military elite. Johnny Rico never intended to enlist in the Mobile Infantry. But now that he's in the toughest boot camp, the combat training is harder than anything imagined. He follows rigorous military maneuvers, logistics, policies, & the command of a futuristic military unit equipped with powered armor. All this is put to the test when humanity goes to war with a race of vicious giant insects! There's an interstellar war the Federation is waging against an alien species known as Arachnids or 'Bugs' - human’s most alarming enemy. Two extraterrestrial civilizations - similar to ants & termites - are life-forms originating from the planet of Klendathu. They have multiple groups of workers, soldiers, brains, & queens. Arachnid soldiers are the ones who fight, & cannot surrender in battle. And if Johnny Rico's combat training doesn’t kill him, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>HEINLEIN COOL TRIVIA: - Heinlein narrated 1969 Moon landing with Walter Cronkite - Crater on Mars named after him (Heinlein Crater) - Main-belt asteroid named for him (6312 Robheinlein). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CONDITION Softcover in Like-New to Very Good+ condition.
