The Ghost Brigades Paperback - 2008

Reader reviews for The Ghost Brigades
Review summary
Readers largely found The Ghost Brigades a brisk, accessible military SF entry that broadens the Old Man’s War universe, spotlighting the Special Forces and Jane Sagan while probing themes of identity, cloning, and moral ambiguity in the Colonial Union. Many praised the action, pacing, and worldbuilding, though several missed John Perry’s voice and noted the humor is dialed back. Critiques centered on predictability, some plausibility gaps in the science and indoctrination logic, and a sense that it’s less original and resonant than the first book. Audiobook narration drew favorable mentions, and most saw it as a solid, if uneven, follow-up that keeps the series moving.
