The military science fiction sequel to his extraordinary Old Man's War, John Scalzi's The Ghost Brigades is the second in The Old Man's War series.
Who can you trust, if you can't trust yourself?
Three hostile alien races have united against humanity, determined to halt our expansion into space. The mastermind behind this lethal alliance is a traitor – Charles Boutin. He was a Colonial Defence Force scientist, with access to their biggest military secrets. Now the CDF's only hope is to discover Boutin's plan. Trouble is, Boutin's dead.
As a super-soldier created from Boutin's own DNA, Jared Dirac may have answers. However, when Dirac fails to access the scientist's memories, he's transferred to the Ghost Brigades for training. These elite troops are also cloned from the dead, so he might fit in. But will Dirac's memory return as the enemy plots the fate of humankind? And whose side is Dirac really on?
'A mix of Starship Troopers and Universal Soldier, Ghost evokes awakening, betrayal, and combat in the best military sci-fi tradition' – Entertainment Weekly
Continue the gripping space war series with The Last Colony.
Kundrecensioner
Disappointing
I read the previous books in the series and couldn’t put them down. I loved them hence my complete disappointment with this one.
The writing style is quite bad, the writer drops explanations for things in a haste without weaving them in the story, it all sounds forced, artificial.
Maybe spoilers below!
Also the main plot of the book, about the Obin’s supposed lack of consciousness just doesn’t hold up, even current science contradicts that so he lost me there. I can’t plow through it.
