    W dniu swoich siedemdziesiątych piątych urodzin John Perry zrobił dwie rzeczy. Najpierw odwiedził grób swojej żony. A potem wstąpił do armii. Ludzkość w końcu znalazła drogę do międzygwiezdnej przestrzeni – to dobra wiadomość. Zła wiadomość jest taka, że w kosmosie jest niewiele nadających się do zamieszkania planet – za to aż roi się tam od obcych, którzy chcą o nie walczyć. Wychodzi na to, że wszechświat jest dla człowieka wrogim miejscem. A więc – walczymy. Żeby obronić Ziemię (która może stać się celem ataku dla naszych nowych wrogów, jeśli dopuścimy ich zbyt blisko); walczymy również o nasz planetarny stan posiadania. Z dala od Ziemi, ta wojna trwa już od dziesiątków lat: jest brutalna, krwawa i nieubłagana.

  2. The Ghost Brigades

    The Ghost Brigades are elite soldiers of the Colonial Defense Forces, created from the DNA of the deceased to carry out the toughest military operations. As humanity faces a new threat from three allied alien races, the CDF must uncover the motives of the traitorous scientist Charles Boutin, who possesses critical military secrets. Jared Dirac, a superhuman hybrid made from Boutin's DNA, is the key to accessing Boutin's electronic memories. However, when the memory transfer fails, Jared is assigned to the Ghost Brigades. Initially, he excels as a soldier, but as Boutin’s memories begin to emerge, Jared starts to understand the reasons behind Boutin’s betrayal. He must navigate his own identity while racing against time, as the alien alliance prepares an offensive that threatens humanity's existence. This sequel combines intense military action with profound moral questions about technology and identity, balancing personal drama with larger existential themes. Scalzi's narrative is rich with character development and philosophical undertones, making it a compelling military science fiction experience. The story explores themes of awakening, betrayal, and the implications of creating life, all while delivering a fast-paced and engaging plot.

    "Humans expanded into space ... only to find a universe populated with multiple alien species bent on their destruction. Thus was the Colonial Union formed, to help protect us from a hostile universe. The Colonial Union used the Earth and its excess population for colonists and soldiers. It was a good arrangement ... for the Colonial Union. Then the Earth said: no more. Now the Colonial Union is living on borrowed time-a couple of decades at most, before the ranks of the Colonial Defense Forces are depleted and the struggling human colonies are vulnerable to the alien species who have been waiting for the first sign of weakness, to drive humanity to ruin. And there's another problem: A group, lurking in the darkness of space, playing human and alien against each other-and against their own kind -for their own unknown reasons. In this collapsing universe, CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson and the Colonial Union diplomats he works with race against the clock to discover who is behind attacks on the Union and on alien races, to seek peace with a suspicious, angry Earth, and keep humanity's union intact ... or else risk oblivion, and extinction-and the end of all things."--Amazon.com
