Any thing you get for free is automatically suspected of being less than average in quality. Having never read any work by John Scalzi, and it being the first download I received from Tor's free Sci-Fi book download at Watch the Skies - Tor.com hopefully you can understand my original misgivings about reading Old Man's War. Thankfully, I was wrong.
Old Man's War is an excellent read which follows 72 year old John Perry as he leaves Earth after the death of his wife a few years earlier and becomes a solider in the Colonial Army. I won't discuss the plot from there as it is impossible to do so without spoiling the first surprise in the book, but I will say I had a hard time putting the book down once I started reading it.
