Description	Starship Troupers is a science fiction series of novels by American author Christopher Stasheff. To date it covers three books: A Company Of Stars, We Open On Venus and A Slight Detour.Internet Speculative Fiction Database, Starship Troupers - Series Bibliography (accessed Feb. 17 2014) 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 (Earth, sometimes known affectionately as "Old Earth") 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 pun on Robert Heinlein's noted "Starship Troopers" novel.The novels are written in two first person participant narratives, that of the characters Ramou Lazarian and Horace Burbage, alternating between each character. Sometimes the characters are together as events unfold and the narrative switches between their different perspectives. Other times, the characters are engaged in separate activities and they narrate their experiences accordingly.Throughout the novels, hints are dropped as to the characters' futures, such as Ramou musing that years after the novel's events, Barry confided in him the nature of courtesy toward others. This suggests the entire series may be viewed as the reminiscences of the two narrators about events that have already happened, rather than a moment-by-moment account of events as they unfold.
