Today I receive the trilogy sequels to Old Man’s War. The book, having been read by me, has been sitting with my other books like a lone wolf catching me unawares within the sounds of an echoing cry of yearning. Last I knew, John Perry had been assigned to the Taos after having stumbled into the Ghost Brigades. Rescuing a soldier of the Special Forces had made him a hero, and the only real-born to have served with them. Briefly.
The Ghost Brigades are elite troops created from the DNA of the dead and turned into perfect soldiers for the Colonial Defense Forces' toughest operations. “ You’re not supposed to know where they’re going or what they’re doing or even that they’re there in front of your own face.” But everyone knows they exist, even if no one knows who they are. Except, that is, for John Perry.
“ Whenever Special Forces soldiers see me, they ping me with their BrainPals - short little bursts of emotional information, signifying respect.” John Perry pings back acknowledging the salute but outwardly never giving them away.
Now, I’m going back into the CDF aboard the Taos. I don’t know what to expect, except one thing, that John Scalzi is going to blow me right out-of-this-world. Man oh man is he ever!
