OLD MAN RIVER: I'd been on a bit of a drought of good science fiction -- having busied myself with the terrific King of California a history of San Joaquin Valley cotton farming and the Boswell land fortune -- but yesterday picked up (and early this morning finished) John Scalzi's Old Man's War. Nothing I can do to sum up the novel better than has been done over at Amazon, but it may well be the best science fiction novel I've read in the last ten years. An interesting universe, cool technology, and a touching, sentimental story that doesn't skimp on the alien carnage.
