Scalzi shows once again why he is one of the top writers in his genre. Highly recommended.
Great book! You do have to have some knowledge of what is going on, (read The Old Man War first!) but once you are on, boy oh boy you are ON! The intrigue, the backstabbing, so much politics, it is magnificent. Read it first to know what is going on, then re-read it to get the timing right in your head, then read it a third time just to enjoy it.
