Redshirts by John Scalzi

<p> If the title carries meaning for you, you are, arguably, the intended audience.</p> <p> I found the main story to be a fun little meta-fictive romp, and not a lot else. In tone it very much reminded me of his earlier novel, <em>Agent to the Stars</em>–deeply aware of, if only to have fun with, genre conventions. As utterly unconcerned with the &#34;science&#34; part of &#34;science fiction&#34; as its purported source material.</p>

The God Engines

<p> I guess you could say this was my &#34;rebound book&#34; after the heavy commitment of King&#39;s <em>Dark Tower</em> books. As it is a novella, I suppose it really just constitutes a fling, which seems about right.</p> <p> John Scalzi goes all omniscient-third-person-+which is a departure from the &#34;Old Man&#39;s War&#34; series, which is basically everything of his that I&#39;ve read-+ on this tale of betrayal. It&#39;s a fun, fairly light read. You can infer all sorts of Deep Thought About Religion if you so choose, but I think that might be going a little far.</p>
