The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi

Review: “The Ghost Brigades” by John Scalzi

December 24, 2005 by David Moldawer

Ghost Brigades is a pageturner with surprising emotional rewards, but I’m hoping that Scalzi plans to write more books in this universe, because as it is there are too many ideas here for his own good.

Review: “Platinum Pohl: The Collected Best Stories”

December 12, 2005 by David Moldawer
