    No there arent sequels.

    However there is the Forever War series by Joe Haldeman, which he claimed was influenced by Stormship Troopers (and his own war experience). Mechanical super warriors in space but instead of glorifying war it showed a darker side.

    Heinlein actually told Haldeman at an award ceremony that his book “may be the best future war story I’ve ever read!”
