I've enjoyed the Old Man's War books, but these shorts don't seem to add much.

Um interessante q&a entre John Perry como soldado das FDC e os colonos e os pontos de vista e percepções diferentes que surgem , quando estamos de lados opostos da barricada.

(No Spoilers.) Just a chapter about John Perry giving a talk about Colonial Defense Forces. A fast and easy read. No new essential info, more for the completionist.

Good. Too short.

Good. Too short. I want more, and will use the required twenty words to whine about it. Nice work, nice story, nice foreshadowing.

This novella was underwhelming. It gives us a slightly larger glimpse of the 'OMW' universe, this time from a colonial's perspective. 'Questions for a soldier' gives us a peak into John Perry's victory parades, from the original OMW. He gives a Q&A and the topics covered include racism, imperialism, whether humanity can coexist in peace and his modified body. And that is all that there is.

A short story set in the Old Man's War universe that I think I've read before, but it's nice to have a copy. Captain Perry gives answers to questions about the CDF.

Interesting background to the Old Man's War universe

A great short story (28 pages or so) written in the form of an audio transcript. The event in this story takes place some when between Old Man's War and The Last Colony.

It is an account of John Perry meeting colonists on a goodwill tour of the CU.
