Trade Review
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 SF today -- Joe Hill
Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced * Wall Street Journal *
Clever dialogue, fast-paced story and strong characters * The Times *
It gladdens the reader's heart . . . great fun * Daily Telegraph *
Top-notch. His combat scenes are blood roiling * Washington Post *
Astonishingly proficient * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
