Very interesting premise and I constantly feel like I am only seeing a very tiny slice of this universe full of stories.

The “Old Man’s War” series is a great read all the way through. The author gives the reader several points of view during the series, which makes it extra interesting.

Think Ender’s Game, but recruiting septuagenarians and giving them new life defending Earth’s colonies. It’s utterly fantastic.

Scalzi at his best, but diminished returns as I read deeper into the series. Still, well worth my time, maybe for you as well.

A wonderful alternative universe where old folks report for hazardous space military duties, and it works because their conscious thoughts are downloaded into this new body that is kickass. And, there is a built in PDA , and… while it’s futuristic, it’s also very human. Excellent books and author.

So, the premise is, how does an Empire recruit soldiers for insterstellar war? Entice them with an offer they can’t refuse: Youth, and a fresh start. Great premise, competent writing. Probably his best work.

Old Man’s War, the first in the series is just awesome. Highly recommended. The continuation is not as powerful as book 1, but you better read them all….

I really enjoyed this whole series. Scalzi does it again with a new twist on older themes. This series is very satisfying, which is about all I can say with being a spoiler.

An excellent series! Great sf writing as well as writing in general. John Scalzi is a new sf writing giant on par with Jack Vance, Glenn Cook, O,S, Card, David Gerrold, George R.R. Martin and Michael Swanwick,

The first of the series, OLD MAN’S WAR, should have won the Hugo it was nominated for.
