Comments:
Old Man’s War by John Scalzi is a well written Sci Fi adventure that made me look at old people from a new angle. The idea behind it is, if you are old (75 years to be exact), what would you do to be young again? In the case of John Perry and countless other 75 year olds, he is willing to give up earth and fight wars at far flung planets against alien races.
Scalzi really captures the hopes and desires of a 75 year old man leaving his home forever to participate in battle with unknown races. This book is action packed, but also has an emotional impact that surprised and pleased me. Friendships are made, people die and love blooms.
I can’t wait to read Scalzi’s sequel, The Ghost Brigades
