Product Description:
Fans of John Scalzi's "Old Man" universe, prepare yourselves: there's a long new story in that universe, told from the point of view of one of the series' most intriguing characters. Subterranean Press is proud to publish The Sagan Diary, a long novelette that for the first time looks at the worlds of the Hugo-nominated Old Man's War and its sequel The Ghost Brigades from the point of view of Lieutenant Jane Sagan, who in a series of diary entries gives her views on some of the events included in the series... and sheds new light into some previously unexplored corners. If you thought you knew Jane Sagan before, prepare to be surprised.

I found Jane Sagan one of the most interesting characters in all of John Scalzi's Old Man's War worlds, and this feels like and is probably intended to feel like her own personal insight into what she saw, and what she did while her and John were separated, and off doing their own thing in the colonial army. Jane is a "Ghost Brigade" soldier, in other words she does not really exist, as she is made from the DNA of John's wife, who died before she was able to join the Colonial army. I don't think ...

If you are expecting more blazing guns and alien fights, this isn't the book for you. If you are really interested in the characters Scalzi created, and if you are really interested in their motivations and thoughts, buy this book. It fills in some gaps and provides a very cool different perspective on some things from the Old Man's War universe. I liked the other more action-centered books better, but this definitely was fun to read and see some "behind the scenes" stuff.

As you read through that other reviews here, you'll note, (as I did) that almost all the negative opinions are based on people not getting _what they thought_ they were getting. But hedging my bets, I got it from the library first. And then I immediately bought it.
So, let's cut to the chase. It's a diary of Jane Sagan, it's 100 pages (small) with illustrations, and it's written like a diary.
That's a really, really good thing.
In the Sagan's words, you feel ... Read More

John Scalzi has fallen into the "make me money" groove that so many authors jump into - only earlier than most. Scalzi has hammered out a SHORT story, covered it in hard cover and slapped a $20 price tag on it with the understanding that many people will buy it because of his name.
The story is good - the value is not. Save your money.

What a fascinating little book this is, a novella set in the same world as author John Scalzi's other works (Old Man's War and its sequels). Having not read those, I did not know what to expect when I downloaded the free audio version (from Scalzi's website) of The Sagan Diary.
Presented as the journal of Jane Sagan (ostensibly a character in the aforementioned series), The Sagan Diary is written in a very stream-of-consciousness form, which makes it difficult to follow at first, but ends ... Read More
