I've always heard great things about the book Starship Troopers, aside from the movie version.

I've been watching the price and one of my sources that I subscribe to linked a great deal.
$1.99 https://booklaser.com/2017/11/...l-starship-troopers/

I hear the book is a bit different than movie. Looking forward to it.

Yeah, just a bit. A line or two. You have to really pay attention to notice....

I picked up DUNE also. Going from movie to book is not my preferred way to do it but I think I have some good reading ahead of me.

Dune is my favorite Sci Fi, and perhaps my favorite novel overall, of all time. I read it once a year or so. I don't like any of the other novels in the series anywhere near as much, so I pretend they don't exist. Dune is too dense for a 2 or even three hour movie. I really wish that HBO would buy the rights and give it the Game of Thrones treatment.

a line or two is about ALL that survived the movie.

No worries. Other than the titles and some character names, the movies bear very little resemblance to the novels. I envy you being able read them for the first time.

Just bought it too. Thanks for the heads up!

Never read either one. Bought Starship Troopers and trying the sample of Dune.

ST is the same price as on Amazon.

I read all 6 of the Dune books and wow. I would really recommend you only read the first 2, maybe 3 and only if you get them free. so strange.

Thanks for the heads up. Bought the kindle version for my collection.

I got a copy too. As someone else mentioned, I recently was able to get Dune as well.
