A virtuosic debut novel in the tradition of Robert A. Heinlein.
John Scalzi is one of the most popular and acclaimed SF authors to emerge in the last decade. His debut Old Man's War won him science fiction's John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. His New York Times bestsellers include The Last Colony, Fuzzy Nation, his most recent novel Lock In, and also Redshirts, which won 2013's Hugo Award for Best Novel. Material from his widely read blog The Whatever (whatever.scalzi.com) has also earned him two other Hugo Awards. He lives in Ohio with his wife and daughter.
Gripping and surpassingly original. It's Starship Troopers without
the lectures . . . It's funny, it's sad, and it's true
*Cory Doctorow*
I enjoyed Old Man's War immensely. A space war story with fast
action, vivid characters, moral complexity, and cool speculative
physics, set in a future you almost want to live into, and a
universe you sincerely hope you don't live in already
*Ken MacLeod*
John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in
