Behold a fine new SF talent
Thanks to seeing it plugged over at Instapundit, I clicked on Amazon the other day to buy “Old Man’s War”, by writer and blogger John Scalzi. The book is about a guy who, at an advanced stage of life, decides to join the military. I am not going to reveal the outline of the plot – you can get an idea if you follow the link – but any book that is likened to Heinlein’s Starship Troopers but with a more rounded worldview gets my attention. Scalzi is a fine blogger ,and I look forward to reading him. I’ll post a review up when I have read it.
The only problem is that there are so many decent books out there that I wonder how I can find the time. I still have Neal Stephenson’s Baroque trilogy to wade through, dammit.
