I really enjoyed both 'The Forever War' and 'Starship Troopers', in book form anyway. I'd be worried about the terrible arse they'd make of the forever war if they did try and film it though. Has anyone read the sequel to 'Forever War', 'Forever Peace' IIRC? Personally I thought it was truly awful

Such a let down after the first one was so good. Same thing with the sequel to 'Day of the Triffids', 'Night of the Triffids' (again IIRC). Wasn't written by Wyndham, just someone trying to follow it up. Absolutely horrendous read, but unfortunately I can rarely just abandon a book (or film for that matter) partway through.
