The Ghost Brigades


It’s been a long time since I last read these books. I remember the broad strokes but I had forgotten so many particulars. As I said in the Old Man’s War post, I’m really, really enjoying it.

Pretty much everything I said about the first book is true of this sophomore effort. Solid action, great story, hits you in the feels on the regular.

But here is the thing that really hit me hard with this one. I’ve got to give a little context.

Old Man's War


Many years ago I was writing book reviews pretty regularly and I became aware of author I had not heard of. He’d written some military sci-fi ( I’m interested ) that was said to be in the vein of Starship Troopers. ( I’m VERY interested )

I read it, I liked it. I started reading Whatever. I read Agent to the Stars ( It’s free - but so good! ) and here were are, he’s my favorite. So why am I talking about this old book now?
