"John Ringo's written a series of military science fiction novels ("A Hymn Before Battle", "Gust Front", and "Dance with the Devil") featuring troopers in mobile armor very similar to the "Starship Troopers" M.I. (!)"

Actually, I would say that Ringo's work actually surpasses Heinlein's (as far as the "mobile armor" concept--he goes Heinlein one or two better). Of course, Heinlein STILL takes the prize, as he devised the concept with science and technology concepts fifty years older than were/are available to Ringo.

Damn--I don't know how I am going to make it 'til the NEXT installment of Ringo's series comes out!!!!

I've just started reading the third volume. (No spoilers, please!) Did Ringo leave room for a fourth novel, or did he tie up all the Posleen loose ends?

Thanks!
