I was taken a bit off guard by No Man's War, I'd seen Mr. Scalzi's name whilst tramping about at the Science Fiction Awards Watch Website. I noticed that Mr. Scalzi wrote this book mostly online then sold it as his very first work. Zoe's Tale is the fourth book in this saga, and I see that it has been nominated for the Hugo this year, so I have at least three more of this epic to look forward to. I say I was taken off guard because Old Man's War is a very fine work! I read the whole book in just three days. Mr. Scalzi has a very good sense of character, in many ways it is 'what he leaves out' that distinguishes him. He keeps the book at a good clip and doesn't waste our time with superfluous embellishments that lesser writers of the Genre tend to fall for.
Old Man's War begins with essentially an old man, John Perry, who is 70 or so and a widower, he lives on an Earth that has the ability to colonize the star systems of outer Space. The catch here, if you're old, get out and leave forever. You can not be returned. The CDF of the (colonial IDF), the earth, CDF interesting distinction from the world was not sharing the responsibility of the entire space of non-payment. It is not known and these operating without jurisdiction can imagine the earth as a happy one interesting twist! Old daysperson joins the CDF they are given new bodies and this is what John Perry does... but with the sad note that his beloved wife 'Kathy' has died, as they had planned to join up together. The just of this 'second life' is that you get a whole new life with the 'nothing to lose' attitude. Scalzi doesn't go into the dimensions of this choice... he just has John Perry on his way to the CDF, where he will get a new body (green) and will have to fight for ten years a host of alien invaders Please planetary community. However, it is a safe environment in space, the number of other life forms is bad for the planet interested in any smaller collection. Therefore, create a new body in his living Jonperi participate in this war.
Not only put a Sukarutsuiboru, where growing number of issues, refer to the Jonperi actually respected member of CDF crack. The book continues with several issues at any time, JohnShell shocked a few people lost through this with him came also the "family" he has been trained to maintain contact. Survival as a soldier, not 30% better ... this is true of many of his friends are dead. This book is really John and his army to fight the battle of coral Whaidians Pick ... Whaidians planet where people are disabled and the CDF was destroyed by the fleet destroyed by Hasa'superiour' alien race's gift to the Whaidians, John Perry survives this assault being rescued by a 'Ghost Brigade' these are soldiers like John but from the dead DNA of people who signed up for CDF on Earth but died before they could enroll... like John's wife Kathy.... and of course that is what happens, as John's wife is suddenly before him but she isn't really his wife but an artificially engineered persona named Jane Sagan.
As the book continues John gets to know Jane Sagan and it's Very interesting, John (two of his old friend) returns to the coral to survive the attack only soldiers. Therefore, CDF quite how to Whaidians disaster is to learn was trying to figure out where to enter the Coral area. And that effort to win and courage to create a colony, the last part of this John is a very important part. Degli Scalzi's really a good thing he is a great skill and handleSchool.
Write a new war Jonsukarutsui old, he has also been awarded the wrong side of John Campbell.
