John Scalzi

OK despite work and those darn things called sleep and hunger I managed to finish off Old Man's War for the second time as well as Ghost Brigades in about 2 days now. Couldn't put them down. I used to think it would be hard to beat Micheal Stackpole(from his Battletech books) but I must say this guy is fantastic and writes the way I think, and doesn't mind the cursing(had to fix up this post a couple times already myself so as to not break any rules).

So anyways, I am hooked and want more. Naturally I'll buy The Last Colony when my check roles in, and will buy again on eInk when my Tax Refund comes in so I can buy a fancier eBook reader than my phone. Until then I want more FREE writing like his, I don't think he has anything else out like his Old Mans War series for Free and it's just heart wrenching to think these three books are it(though I'll buy the Sagan Diaries and Zoes books later for sure.

I kind of enjoyed the Honor Harrington series, but I am hoping for something more like John Scalzi's Old Man's War series with a similar writing if possible. Can anyone suggest me something, I got the itch!
