Heinlein - Audio book performed by Lloyd James - Unabridged Fiction - 7 CASSETTES - 10 hours Publisher, Blackstone Audiobooks (June 1998) "The historians can't seem to settle whether to call this one 'The Third Space War' (or the fourth), or whether 'The First Interstellar War' fits better. We just call it 'The Bug War.' Everything up to then and still later were 'incidents,' 'patrols' or 'police actions.' However, you are just as dead if you buy the farm in an 'incident' as you are if you buy it in a declared war..." --Starship Troopers JOIN THE ARMY AND SEE THE UNIVERSE!
