Just finished reading John Scalzi's Old Man's War. If you're a fan of the late Robert A. Heinlein, this is a book for you. It'll make you believe that the New Wave and cyberpunk never happened. Well, not completely; Scalzi's novel is informed by both of these movements as well as by more recent developments in SF, yet retains a distinct Golden Age feel. Like Rundgren's last album, it could be described as "modern retro." Worth buying in hardcover. More information (including a sample chapter) here. (The Amazon link has an additional excerpt from the first chapter.)

Re: Old Man's War There is 1 message in this thread. Please share your thoughts! Rodney 5/18/2005 11:52:16 AM Pacific Right on. Thanks for pointing this book out. I just finished it last night. Great read. I cannot wait for the sequel. Talk about going back in time for me; back to when I was reading Heinlein and // Alive. It is currently 7/4/2009 6:23:56 PM Pacific.
