Fantastic book. The sequels are okay.
Another great sci-fi book on sale. This one's more of the action variety.

Totally agree, this one's great, second one is really good, and after that, mileage varies.

Yep. This book is tops. Series goes downhill a bit but this title for sure is a must-read.

I'm more of a fantasy person but a friend let me borrow this and I couldn't put it down.

Not really uncommon for Scalzi series, sadly. Just finished the third dependency book.. and wow.. it's not good. I think sometimes he might get tired of a series or start disliking his own writing and just wrap it up as fast as possible to end a book. Red Shirts being the opposite. That book ended and for some reason kept going for many more chapters. Scalzi'd I guess.

This is a good deal, but the series as a whole drops in quality quite fast after the first couple of books.

In the middle of Zoe's Tale now, and it's not good. The rest of the series has been great. Very much recommended.

Give him the link to this forum. Pretty accurate comments here. Not to dump on him, rather to let him know his fans pay attention to his writing. I'd love more books in this universe but with quality along the first two books.

Zoe's Take was a big disappointment for me. Picked up ok afterwards
