It’s a clever expansion on the world-building of Old Man’s War with some recap, and some new info. It offers a look at the human perspective as well as the political dynamic, which is an angle of Scalzi’s sci-fi writing that always impresses me.

Quick, easy read at 30 pages. "Transcript" of a Q&A session between Perry and some colonials.

I am looking forward to reading more of this series. My favorite quote was " The one real advantage that humans have is that on a pound-for-pound basis, we’re meaner."

In a way it's almost as though we're hearing Scalzi's voice from the POV of a soldier. It's funny, enlightening and a nice little snippet that patches things up between novels (while giving us a little winky face hint towards the future).

Un relato corto que se integra perfectamente después del primer libro (La vieja guardia). ¡Ahora a por el segundo!
