|
||
|
|
The Ghost Brigades are the Special Forces of the Colonial Defense Forces,
|
||
|
|
elite troops created from the DNA of the dead and turned into the perfect
|
||
|
|
soldiers for the CDF's toughest operations. They’re young, they’re fast and
|
||
|
|
strong, and they’re totally without normal human qualms.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The universe is a dangerous place for humanity—and it's about to become far
|
||
|
|
more dangerous. Three races that humans have clashed with before have allied
|
||
|
|
to halt our expansion into space. Their linchpin: the turncoat military
|
||
|
|
scientist Charles Boutin, who knows the CDF’s biggest military secrets. To
|
||
|
|
prevail, the CDF must find out why Boutin did what he did.</p>

<p>Reading another "Old Man's War" after a long time since the very first is a
|
||
|
|
weird experience. Mostly because you forgot half of the stuff, and the other
|
||
|
|
half is buried somewhere in a fuzzy old memory.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>And then the names appear in the story. And <em>then</em> you remember most of the
|
||
|
|
stuff.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Thing is, this book does very little connection with the first one. While
|
||
|
|
"<em>Old Man's War</em>" explored the life of a man in a new body in a very long
|
||
|
|
battle, this book focuses on the other half of the book, Jane Sagan, the
|
||
|
|
soldier built with the DNA of the man in the new body.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>So now we have the battles of Jane Sagan as a CDF soldier. But the book is
|
||
|
|
really what <em>people</em> are: The bodies? Their personality? Their memories?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Unfortunately, it doesn't go as deep as it could in this topic but, on the
|
||
|
|
other hand, the story is mostly solid, the writing is easy to read and the
|
||
|
|
story itself have a good pacing.</p>
