“Gripping and surpassingly original. It’s Starship Troopers without the lectures. It’s The Forever War with better sex. It’s funny, it’s sad, and it’s true.” —Cory Doctorow

“John Scalzi is a fresh and appealing new voice, and Old Man’s War is classic SF seen from a modern perspective–a fast-paced tour of a daunting, hostile universe.” —Robert Charles Wilson

“Thought-provoking!” —Entertainment Weekly

“Solid…[Scalzi] sidesteps most of the cliches of military science fiction, delivers fast-paced scenes of combat and pays attention to the science underpinning his premise.” —San Francisco Chronicle
