Critics Review
John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today

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, author of Beyond the Hallowed Sky
John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today – Joe Hill, author of Heart-Shaped Box
