Robert Heinline had the right idea with Starship Troopers, killing all the bugs. Also if you liked Heinline read the book Old Mans War by John Scali a great novel in the style of Heinline!
don’t tell any one here that Heinline was a libertarian.
Quick Heads up - I don’t want to ruin it for you, but John Scalzi is among the most repugnant of leftist pussies, and spends his spare time tweeting leftist crap and trying to purge conservatives from the Sci-Fi Author organizations using petty leftist politics. He actually got Vox Day purged from SFWA for being conservative. Personally I wouldn’t advance his interests or career.
Castalia House Publishing (www.castaliahouse.com) is actually a conservative publishing house that does great conservative sci-fi specifically to counter the influence of the pink shirts in SF like Scalzi, and which arose because of Vox’s purging.
