I read the book, but I'm almost regretting the time I put to this book. The conflict was even more self-caused than the previous, but with constant reminder that there is not real conflict. Add the stupid long, stupid discussions between the NPCs and you get a terrible book.

Robert A. Heinlein: Starship troopers (1998, G.K. Hall) 4 stars

Read it in 2 or so days, definitely a page turner.
