Critics Review
John Scalzi writes science fiction that is fun, intelligent and irreverent … I haven’t enjoyed science fiction this much in years – Christopher Paolini, author of Eragon, on the Old Man’s War series
Old Man’s War is classic SF seen from a modern perspective – a fast-paced tour of a daunting, hostile universe – Robert Charles Wilson, author of Spin, on Old Man’s War
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 in, and a universe you sincerely hope you don’t live in already – Ken MacLeod, author of the Lightspeed Trilogy, on Old Man’s War
I can honestly say I can’t think of another book that ever made me laugh this much. Ever – Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind, on Redshirts
Scalzi takes apart the whole Star Trek universe and puts it back together far more plausibly – and a lot funnier too – Lev Grossman, New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians, on Redshirts
