John Scalzi's "The Ghost Brigades," the sequel to Old Man's War, is in print and on shelves today.

I described Scalzi's Old Man's War as "The Forever War with better sex, Starship Troopers without the lectures."

Cory's not far off with that description. It's a fabulous book, I think, so I've ordered the sequel without hesitation. I actually read it without knowing a single thing about the plot, which I thnk made it better, truthfully... you'll learn a little bit even by clicking thru to the boing-boing blurb, so fair warning.
