Old Man's War
Date undefinedThis is an enormously satisfying read and I say this as a SCIFI fan of over 45 years. I just love the concept of brain pals. You won't regret reading this one.
Old Man's War
Date undefinedThis is an entertaining space adventure/war novel of the first order.Fast paced,well written and thought provoking.The science is fine and doesn't bog the story down.If you like old school classic sci-fi with a protagonist that can be funny but very serious in equal measure then you will really enjoy this novel.
Old Man's War
Date undefinedI'm fascinated by tales of transhumanism. Old Man's War is a novel concept that takes us to places we might find if we develop the technology to move the contents of a human mind around into various bodies. It's also much, much more.
Scalzi's writing style is palatable. His plot devices worked for me. I found his characters interesting. It's a big universe out there, and Scalzi shows us what he imagines it might be like for humanity if we can ever move off our home planet.
Military elements in Old Man's War are well crafted and plausible. I found the book to be hard to put down, which becomes rarer and rarer as I age.
