I still consider Starship Troopers the conversation starter, which in a way, The Forever War was a reply, and then Ender's Game and finally Old Man's War were later comments. All are great books, but I was hugely let down by Old Man's War when the main character was rejuvenated. I thought the story was going to be about an old man. I thought that was a very cool perspective. And then he became an ordinary normal horny young man, and the story lost its novelty for me. Still good, but I was let down from my opening expectations. Full disclosure here - I'm old, so I root for older guys now.
