Title: Starship Troopers came first...
Review: To clarify something other reviewers have questioned, Starship Troopers did indeed come before Armor. 20 years or so before Armor. And Armor was indeed heavily influenced by Starship Troopers. John Steakley himself even said that he stole it outright. That said, what Armor is is emotional where Starship Troopers is intellectual. Starship Troopers used the pretext of a futuristic war to deliver the author's views of society and the military, whereas Armor barely sketches in details about it's society and military in order to tell the story of one man's struggle to survive in an unsurvivable situation.
