This book is in "well-read" condition, meaning good condition for being a 1984 published book.
Basically, if you liked Starship Troopers, more for the battles and mechanized suits and less for the post-modern militaristic politics, you will like this book. Steakley's vision of this future war against a savage insect aggressor is more valid today than ever. You can just imagine the soldiers fighting in the Middle East asking the same question Felix asks himself: "Why am I here and what am I fighting for?" As the war rages on, the fighting becomes less focused on any political or patriotic cause and more focused on each man and woman's will to survive.
