Wow. I'm very impressed. Scalzi does a fantastic job here on a number of fronts.

The characterizations are fantastic, keeping me hooked *strongly* until the end of the book. The premise is fascinating, taking all the other sci-fi military stories and tipping them on their edge (old people? cool!). The faux-science is plausible in its own strange way, and I love the BrainPal!

Scalzi has rocketed to the top of my "favorite author" list with this one. I'm eagerly anticipating reading some of his other stuff.
