I was discussing some reviews by the poster BluePencilReview on You Tube a whikle back and when discussing his You Tube book review of Cold (1996) by John Gardner. The poster then discvussed what he saw as the links between the classic sci-fi novel Starship Troopers (1959) by Robert A. Henlein (he's also the author of the famous novel Stranger in a Strange Land, 1961) and this novel's far right policies for the United States in the fascist takeover ordered by General Brutus Clay. I found this very interesting, hence this thread. Can anyione confirm the links here at all? If so, I'd be most grateful of hearing from you in this thread. Thank yopu for reading.
"I actualy meant the book. In it, they basically argue that Brutus Clay's tatics would eliminate crime and make for a better world-no joke.
I more found it funny that Clay was using the policies in Starship troopers. I can sort of see his illness in parelle with M's in the book. I was also a little harsh given goldeneye had to be placed in this lot too."
