dont forget Starship Troopers. 10X better than the movie, a very
elaborate well written politico. It is totally different than what the

With Dina Meyer as Dizzy? Damn straight! (Just wish I'd gotten to see Doogie
Howser munched... Cynical of me, but hey.)

Anyway, I'd like to toss in a mention for Blood of Heroes. I know, it's got no
cyberware or magic, and it's post-apocolyptic not urban-sprawl. But it's a
definite example of team karma, and the resolve a good team needs to get
through one of those tough missions.
