I read only "the Door into Summer" by RAH, in HS - about a guy in suspended animation "waking up" some 30 years in the future although I did see the movies "Starship Troopers" and "the Puppet Masters" based on his books of the same name. I recall seeing the book "Revolt in 2100" about a 2nd American Revolution (against Communist China who had taken control of North America). I read the Ray Bradbury anthology "R is for Rocket" and did enjoy most of the stories (fantasy more than technical sci fi) but A. E. van Vogt was my favorite short story writer, in particular "Ressurection" and "the Replicators" ("the creature was mighty but it could be killed - again and again and again"). The late Forest J. Ackerman of "Famous Monsters of Filmland" (and the phrase "sci fi") fame was a friend of AE but some didn't like his more hard core style. Novels included "Slan" and "Voyage of the Space Beagle", which introduced an alien creature like the red wasp - the idea later appeared in the "Alien" sci fi horror film series - I understand there was an out of court settlement.
