Harry Harrison
1965
1-85798-805-8
The adventures of Bill, drafted into the troopers to fight the Chingers, a fearsome seven-foot-tall lizard (which turns out to be seven inches instead). Quickly disillusioned with the army he was drugged into joining, he finds himself in all sorts of trouble with all sorts of people.
This is hilarious, and the technology imagined from the 60s is a welcome relief from the technical jargon that goes with most modern science fiction. I wouldn't mind reading the rest of the Bill series, if I can find them.
