Starship Troopers and The Ships of Ladrick Long Science Fiction Collection Book

Description

This volume brings together two fundamental works by the master Robert A. Heinlein, which explore science fiction from very different but equally provocative angles.

“Space Troopers” (Starship Troopers) is a military science fiction novel that follows Juan "Johnny" Rico as he trains and serves in the Mobile Infantry, in a futuristic society where the right to vote is earned through military service. More than a war story, it's a reflection on civic duty, discipline, and the individual's role in society.

“Ladrick Long’s Ships” (Methuselah's Children) introduces us to a secret society of long-lived humans who must flee persecution and explore the universe in search of acceptance. It's a work that blends space adventure with profound questions about evolution, immortality, and xenophobia.

Together, these novels offer a comprehensive view of Heinlein's speculative thinking, from social criticism to philosophical exploration.
