The Shattering Peace

John Scalzi writes science fiction that is fun, intelligent and irreverent … I haven’t enjoyed science fiction this much in years – Christopher Paolini, author of Eragon, on the Old Man’s War seriesOld Man’s War is classic SF seen from a modern perspective – a fast-paced tour of a daunting, hostile universe – Robert Charles Wilson, author of Spin, on Old Man’s WarI enjoyed Old Man’s War immensely. A space war story with fast action, vivid characters, moral complexity and cool speculative physics, set in a future you almost want to live in, and a universe you sincerely hope you don’t live in already – Ken MacLeod, author of the Lightspeed Trilogy, on Old Man’s WarI can honestly say I can’t think of another book that ever made me laugh this much. Ever – Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind, on RedshirtsScalzi takes apart the whole Star Trek universe and puts it back together far more plausibly – and a lot funnier too – Lev Grossman, New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians, on Redshirts
