The Ghost Brigades Audiobook

" Very enjoyable sequel, would likely stand on its own very well. A very interesting expansion of the universe; looking forward to reading more. Also a quick read - started on one plane flight and finished before boarding for the return flight. "

" Pretty decent read. But lacking the fun discovery of the premise of the series in the first book, this one is a bit more ordinary. If you liked the first novel (Old Man's War), I would definitely read this one and The Last Colony, which is the follow on to this book. "

" Every bit as good as Old Man's War. "

" The sequel to Old Man's War, another fun read. "

" Good follow up story to a good beginning. I like it. I still have it and am planning to read the next in the series. While this one is pretty good and readable, it doesn't hold up to the quality of the first. Probably why I haven't hurried on with the series. "

" The situation is less original than Old Man's War, and just not as much fun. "

" Good. It's the pacing that works so well, I think. No flat spots, and the necessary exposition is neatly handled. "

" Pretty good, expanding on the human tech of the soldiers in a interesting way. Good story. "

" One of the best books I've read in a long time. "

" A good continuation of the series. It's a little info-dump-y at the start, but by the end it's dealing with interesting topics and characters. "

" Loved the shift in perspective and characters in this book. At least as good as the first in the series, this story expands on the Special Forces and the mystique and technology surrounding them. "

" The Ghost Brigades is a superbly written sequel to Old Man's War which builds on that novel's mythology in so many interesting and exciting ways that it easily stands on it's own as one of the greatest science fiction novels of our time. "

" Entertaining, in the way of a blockbuster film, but not much substance. "

" Solid. Not as good as the prior Old Man's War, but a fun read. I tore through it in no time. "

" Definitely one of the best reads this year. Easy to read but far from being a light topic. "

" Disappointing sequel with a great story but way too much exposition instead of story. Show, don't tell. "

" Yay, I like "

" Good example of examining existentialism in a science-fiction setting. Not as good as the first book. "

" Not as good as Old Man's War "

" Quite different from the first one - much more of a military adventure novel with some interesting SF twists. "

" Not as witty or laugh-out-loud funny as "Old Man's War",this installment is more somber, and brings much depth to what felt like a superficial universe in the first novel. All in all, a great SF novel, with killer ideas and some awesome action. "

" Just like Old Man's War, but with different names. I don't even remember any of the details of the story, and I don't particularly care--it's a summer afternoon book, but I'm probably not going to read any more of the series. Not for $10 on the kindle, anyway. "

" Great!!! Action packed and very, very interesting discussion on ethics and technology. A must read if you're a Military Sci-fi fan. "

" I am really enjoying this series. This one (Book Two) was even better than the first one (Old Man's War). Fun stuff. "

" A very different book to Old Man's War. A few of the same characters but not the expected sequel. Great concept, really well written, he knows what he's doing does Mr Scalzi. "

" Might be better than Old Man's War. Definitely deeper. "

" I enjoyed this follow up to Old Man's War as much as I did Old Man's War itself. I was mildly disappointed by the lack of John Perry, however Scalzi more than made up for this by introducing some new rather kick-ass characters, and keeping Jane Sagan, who is perhaps even more kick-ass. "

" It's Scalzi. What more can I say? Two green thumbs up! ;) "
