[Review] The Ghost Brigades (Old Man's War, book 2) by John Scalzi

Published on 26 January 2024 at 10:24

Another great book by Scalzi and a compelling continuation in the series. Great worldbuilding and a light, conversational tone, even when the subject matter is heavy.

 

But what makes this book really great is the character building—including some very good insight on the intricacies of perspective and the argument of nature vs nurture. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to be human.

 

5 stars

Favorite Quote: Fear isn’t the desire to avoid death or pain. Fear is rooted in the knowledge that what you recognize as yourself can cease to exist. Fear is existential.
