Old Man's War is the 1st book of a series by John Scalzi called Old Man's War. I plan to read the series through to the last book available but I'm not sure if I'll read the novellas. Old Man's War is written around the life of John Perry starting on his 75th birthday. The day he starts his two-ye...
Old Man's War / John Scalzi July has proven to be a horrible month for me, so I went for a light read as the Virtual Speculation pick. Old Man's War is a light military SF read, written in a similar tradition of Starship Troopers, but it also manages to act as both a tribute and satire. In genera...
Bottom line: I am going to read more in this series. I loved it. I'm not sure I should have been as amused as I was -- and the book did take almost nearly to the end to get more serious with more involvement in the characters. The military aspect, colonization policies, ... all serious stuff ma...
I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm not sure the world really needed another Starship Troopers or even another anti-Starship Troopers and I don't even know which this is.

When I turn 75, if I have a chance to get my young, toned, wrinkle-free, 20 year old body back- with improvements, in exchange for a stint in the military (hence the title Old Man's War), I'm going for it- you won't have to ask me twice! All aging adults are given this option by the Colonial Defense...
And Again finds a group of 4 people just as they are emerging from the first stages of an experimental medical procedure that will implant their memories into cloned, genetically perfect, replica bodies. As part of the SUBlife program that provided each person an out from terminal illness, they are ...
After I read Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, I told myself I would start reading more science fiction books so my first pick was this book. And I'm very much glad I did. I found it much more fascinating than RPO. The basic premise of the novel is that humans are fighting to colonize space and...
