He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1929, but was forced by illness to retire from the Navy in 1934. He settled in California and over the next five years held a variety of jobs while doing post-graduate work in mathematics and physics at the University of California. In 1939 he sold his first science fiction story to \u003ci\u003eAstounding\u003c\/i\u003e magazine and soon devoted himself to the genre. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe was a four-time winner of the Hugo Award for his novels \u003ci\u003eStranger in a Strange Land\u003c\/i\u003e (1961), \u003ci\u003eStarship Troopers\u003c\/i\u003e (1959), \u003ci\u003eDouble Star\u003c\/i\u003e (1956), and \u003ci\u003eThe Moon is a Harsh Mistress\u003c\/i\u003e (1966).

The series charts the social, political, and technological changes shaping human society from the present through several centuries into the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRobert A. Heinlein's books were among the first works of science fiction to reach bestseller status in both hardcover and paperback. He continued to work into his eighties, and his work never ceased to amaze, to entertain, and to generate controversy. By the time he died, in 1988, it was evident that he was one of the formative talents of science fiction: a writer whose unique vision, unflagging energy, and persistence, over the course of five decades, made a great impact on the American mind.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 9.06 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 27, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Starship Troopers\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Grades, 9-12\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.9\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14\u003c\/div\u003e\n                ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42724157947967,"sku":"9780441014101","price":22.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/5e6ad3fded87956c7fdeb906b11fb2e7.webp?v=1765101698","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/starship-troopers-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
