Starship Troopers (Hugo winner): In a future where you either enlist in the military or forfeit full citizenship, 18-year-old Johnnie Rico survives the toughest boot camp in the Universe…to be sent into battle against mankind’s most terrifying enemy.
Podkayne of Mars: To further her goal of becoming the first female starship captain, Podkayne Fries travels to Earth with her Uncle Tom, unaware he’s the ambassador of an interplanetary conference—whose vote certain parties will stop at nothing to control.

I'm not sure who wrote the club review... 
January 19, 2012
but they clearly didn't read the book. Starship Troopers (the novel, not those awful movies) is about *why* governments and people work, and if it doesn't make you think, you aren't paying attention. Have Spacesuit, Will Travel is probably the weakest of the three novels (it's also the earliest) and is a nice piece of storytelling, but not all that exciting. Podkayne is another social experiement/how things work story -- good female characters (don't let anyone tell you that Heinlein can't create good women characters -- here's one of the many).
Recommended, if only for Starship Troopers alone. Great read.

These are all early works by Heinlein, they all great fun reading. As far as I'm concern his early works were his best.

Outward Bound is a must have, I have recently introduced my nephew to R.A.H. I see in him the joy I felt reading Have Spacesuit-Will Travel for the first time some 40 odd years ago.

Starship Troopers!!!!!!!!!!
June 03, 2008
Starship Troopers is the best book I have ever read. It is the only book I have read more then once. The movie is a disgrace but the book is a MUST READ.
Aslo check out Variable Star. Variable Star is the book RAH never got to finish, but Spider Robinson does a great job with it. Plus its only like $3.99 here at SFBC (well it was when I picked it up) great deal.
