Planetary raid like in Starship Troopers
« on: July 22, 2010, 04:30:41 AM »
Is there possible to raid a planet with small sized troops, like in the raid at the "Spinks" in book Starship Troopers and then pull them out fast again, less than half an hour or so.

In 1984 ive been read the "Space Mobile Infantry's" Heinleins novel a very damn, very cool Military description.

Another awesome book was.."Eternal (or neverending on english?) War" (Pournelle-Anderson?)

And for show a very MIghty Terran EMpire displacement r "Dominic Flandrey's,Agentof Terran Empire" (Paul Anderson?)

Am Hope Steve read this late book,are absolutely awesome in SHips Battles description and Races Involved

The book is called 'The Forever War' and was written by Joe Haldeman.  I really enjoyed this novel when I was a kid  :D
