i’m not familiar with john scalzi, who is he?

He’s a prominent fan-fiction author (I think his fic “Old Man” is widely considered to be the best of its type) and former leader of the Puppies, a group that was a minor force in SFF fandom for a while. He was involved in various drama over the years but became famous for it recently because of the controversy over the Hugo awards, which were won by a large number of the Puppies’ picks.

You’re close, Frank! John Scalzi is a novelist - you’re probably thinking of his breakout hit “Old Man’s War”. It’s one of my favorite books, and I think the series only gets better as it goes on. My favorite of the series is the 6th, The End Of All Things. Can confirm of the Puppies I know who have read it, they all loved it.

Ooh, haven’t heard of that but it sounds good.

I’ve heard of Old Man’s War, but didn’t realize it was part of a series of books with that title, and I’m curious what the later ones are like. (They’re on Scalzi’s page here?)
