I've not heard of this one, who's it by? How about a quick intro? (But no spoilers!)

Both film books are a indeed a LOT different
- Starship troopers is a lot better than the film. So far do androids dream of electric sheep seems a tad worse than the film - but it may pick up.
Airship 9 is by Thomas H Block - HHHmmm - a quick intro...
Lots of nukes go off - everyone dead apart from the airship and a russian warship (it's worth remembernig this was written well before the cold war ended) and some scientists in the antartic.
It's not a brilliant book - but I like the 'end of the world' type book.... Amongst my best types of this book are 'Z for Zacharia' and 'Children of the Dust'
There is a review here - but it MAY give too much away I guess.
