Starship Troupers
Christopher Stasheff · 3 novels · 1991–1994
Starship Troupers is a series of science fiction novels by American author Christopher Stasheff. It includes three books: A Company Of Stars, We Open On Venus, and A Slight Detour. It also occupies the same continuity as Stasheff's Warlock of Gramarye and Rogue Wizard series. Set in the 26th century, after the human race has established colonies on distant planets and interstellar commerce supports Terra and the Terran Sphere of worlds, the novels follow the establishment and subsequent journeys of the Star Theater Company, the first-ever interstellar theatre troupe. The series title, Starship Troupers, was intended as a play on Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers novel.
