About this listen

In Robert A. Heinlein’s controversial Hugo Award-winning bestseller, a recruit of the future goes through the toughest boot camp in the Universe—and into battle against mankind’s most alarming enemy …

Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids.

Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job …

Forget the movie, The book is Amazing

Hard to believe this book was originally written in 1959. The movie came out in the late nineties. Don't let the movie stop you from listening. Of course RC Bray nails it, he could read a phone book and I would pay to listen. The story and characters are very well done and keep drawing you in and looking for a sequel. Social topics brought up are still relevant, with the war as a backdrop. All in all a great listen

It was worth the wait.

Phenomenal listen

Solid narration with fantastic voice work. Nothing like the movies, and it is amazing to have finally heard this gem.

Not an action sci-fi. That's fine with me.

Those who watch the movies maybe going into this book with a misapprehension. Reading this book is more like listening to a veteran tell you about the war. It's hard to explain, but I recommend giving it a listen. The narrator does an excellent job punching up dialog that could very easily, if read wrong, put you to sleep. I highly recommend him.
Overall: A decent listen. I like the world the author conveys. The narrator did very well, but the story itself is a little stiff.
