Guess what?  It&#8217;s really good!  You should read it too.  It is a bit wacky, but in a good way, and has strong conspiracy and thriller elements.  There are some things in it that are a bit easy to see coming, but not enough that the book is predictable.  It was a real page turner and hard to put down.  I&#8217;m really looking forward to reading Zoe&#8217;s Tale when that comes out in paperback.  If you have only read the Old Man&#8217;s War books, you really owe it to yourself to pick up Android&#8217;s Dream.  <\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"all\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I became a fan of John Scalzi when I read a book of his that Tor gave away as a free ebook: Old Man&#8217;s War.
