This is basically a short story collection of events that are happening after The Last Colony, but a short story collection that follows a certain number of individuals. I think this is my 2nd favorite Old Man's War book after the first one.

CAWPILECharacters.The Characters are well thought out and put to good use on the page. AtmosphereThe Style of making this an Anthology really helped me get into the mood and series faster. WritingScalzi excels at short fiction. Maybe if there was a bigger gap between these books when I read them, I would think less of it. His prose and writing is as good as ever.PlotThe plot involving the crew of the Clarke and Abumwe and Wilson flowed very well throughout the story. Never felt like there was an increase in abilities or skills. Just them doing the best they can.InvestmentI was very invested in this from the beginning. I wasn't sure I was going to be because we aren't with the Perry family, but I did really enjoy these shorts and the ways they were able to get through the problems. Learning more about a shadow faction that is trying to incite war against the Conclave and the CDF. LogicI really enjoyed the puzzling out of who is doing what and how its happening. What is the next step. How is this going to play out. Felt very realistic as to peoples reactions to things happening around them and the political manuevering.EnjoymentI really enjoyed this book.
