What did you love best about Have Space Suit - Will Travel?Ī great fantasy about a young man you works hard to get what he wants and along the way has a great adventure.

Granted I read this tale many, well many many years ago for the first time, as a boy. The tale was one of my favorites, The narrator M Turetsky some how just misses the tone of the book.

![]() ![]() You want the happy ending that is out of reach. ![]() This is not the type of horror story where you recoil but secretly enjoy the gore, it makes you sad because it’s rooted in humanity. I got surprisingly choked up near the end, because I felt so sorry for what was happening to them. Each person was fully formed, and it made you invested in every single one of their experiences. While not everything worked, “Troop” was elevated by the author’s care with the six main characters.

They spend their nights scavenging and their days avoiding the deadly Marauders-the German army led by the cutthroat Captain Hanz Otto Oswald Kretschmer.
