Old Man's War
by John Scalzi
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Generally I am not huge on Science Fiction, but this book really delivered. I thought the concept of an army of old people was interesting (though this turns out to only partially be the case). I did feel like the characters didn't interact or talk like they were actually 75, which felt odd.
This book, despite several battles with aliens, is light on the action. I thought it worked fine, as the main plot lines didn't require action. There also really aren't any space battles, despite the cover.
Overall I enjoyed this book. It had an interesting delve into what it means to be human, and how much tinkering we can do with our genes before we are no longer human.
Would suggest giving this a try, Scalzi's writing style is engaging, descriptive, and to the point.
