I've only read the first of Scalzi's trilogy... I really need to get the others. I enjoyed "Old Man's War", but I felt like the first third was really the best. The whole introduction was very well-played, but when it began to tread on the actual military side, it didn't seem quite as sharp. "Fell on its face", as you say. Still quite an enjoyable read, overall, however!
