This review is from: Shines the Name (Combat Command: In the World of Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers) (Paperback)

I just received my copy of Combat Command and was disappointed to find that it was a combination choose your own adventure and war game story. I was hoping for another Troopers style adventure perhaps expanding on the doctrines and technology of the Mobile Infantry described in Heinlein's original novel. Unfortunately that was not to be. I gave it three stars and I will probably read it over thoroughly, but I am disappointed none the less. If there are any others out there as engaged in thinking about what the specifics of the Mobile Infantry might be drop me a line I would be interested in a discussion.
