   "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress." However, it is not "similar" to   
   "Starship Troopers;" it is basically a re-telling of the American   
   Revolution (with elements of early Australia), set in the context   
   of Luna as a penal colony whose residents (both convict and free)   
   were being ruthlessly exploited by the federated terran governments.
