Jean-Paul’s Rating: 4/5 stars

I have been horrible at writing book reviews. It has been so long that I’ve read these books that I can’t even begin to do a review justice. They are here mostly to remind myself that I read them.

This is the first book in a new series by Scalzi which is somewhat reminiscent of Asimov’s Foundation series if the Foundation series were written by a person with a sense of humor. It doesn’t quite have the depth and breadth of cool ideas and world building that his Old Man’s War series does, but I like where it’s going and I am looking forward to reading the next book. If I ever finish reading these stupid Dungeons and Dragons manuals which I bought out of curiosity to see how things have changed with the game system since last I played.
