Review:

John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today (Joe Hill)

Gripping and surpassingly original. It's Starship Troopers without the lectures . . . It's funny, it's sad, and it's true (Cory Doctorow)

A fast-paced political thriller laced with observant characterization, great dialogue, and some genuinely original science (Guardian)

Clever dialogue, fast-paced story and strong characters (The Times)

Top-notch. His combat scenes are blood roiling (Washington Post)

Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced (Wall Street Journal)

Astonishingly proficient (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

Scalzi's prose harkens back to the Golden Age of science fiction while still remaining fresh and vibrant (Strange Horizons)
