Wait, Wait, Wait...

Instapundit says this about a new book by John Salzi:


"...[It's] like Starship Troopers without the lectures..."

And he seems to mean it in a good way.

That's just crazy talk, I tell you. It was the lectures that made ST such a great book. Anyone can write a fun action and explosions book, but it takes a real master to write such a gripping story from what was an exploration of political ideals. The action scenes were just icing on the proverbial cake.

What Z says!!!

Salzi obviously does not understand what is the pinnacle of Science Fiction writing, social statements, as well as gripping stories.

It's what makes Dune a classic, and places the prequels by Frank's son, just good books.
