my voracious book consumption has continued with old man's war by john scalzi, a really good science fiction book centered on the idea that humans are having to aggressively battle other intelligent species for worlds to colonize, and they’re doing it by recruiting seniors and buffing them up.

the plot isn’t the best part of the book, but it does well in providing a framework for the characters and ideas, which are really what make the book shine.
