No.29 Starship Troopers by Robert A Heinlein
As part of Vintage Sci Fi month being hosted by Little Red Reviewer I’ve given myself a small challenge to post a vintage book each day – one that I’ve read – and to highlight some of the covers. Today’s choice and tomorrow’s choice are a little bit sneaky – and I will explain. These are two books that I’m currently reading but haven’t yet finished or reviewed but I think they’re great examples and so they’re going on the list: Starship Troopers by Robert A Heinlein. I really like the first edition for this one.
First edition: 1959

1986 by Berkeley:

2010 by Ace Books:

1986 is my favorite. I mean, it’s Starship Troopers, you gotta feature bugs on the cover 🙂
You do have to feature bugs – I could have gone for the movie tie in cover but I’m not really into movie tie ins tbh and also I think the movie is quite different from teh book – I think so anyway.

1959 kinda makes me laugh. It has a comical kind of vibe to it (whether its supposed to or not)
I like it – and it definitely does have a comical vibe that made me smile.
