This is one of my favourite Asprins. I think it's an homage to "Starship Troopers", with nothing but aliens in the cast. (

One of his earliest works. An excellent little book aimed at the YA market. VV few SF/F books are written totally from an alien POV but the author manages to pull this off. Not to everyone's taste but if you like reading about aliens/ alien cultures then you should give this a go. Hopefully it will be re-published one day. (
