5/22/2023 0 Comments Old Man's War by John ScalziThe story itself is a great change from the standard sci fi fayre, its not all about the tech, although it is of course mentioned and in some cases explained, its more about the characters, who are engaging and memorable. William Dufris does a fantastic job, a minor quibble may be his grasp of the female voice for those characters, somebody else said he said like a drag queen, that's a spot on description, but it doesn't in any way detract from his excellent narration of the story, clear, concise, with a great ability at bringing home the jokes like they were meant to be read. I was listening to this in my car on a long journey home from Scotland, and at times it had me crying with laughter, particularly the drill sergeant scenes. I am currently 6 hours in, and think its worth writing a review already. Unnexpectedly funny, new take on Sci Fi ClicheĪt first when the book began I thought the story was going to be a slow, drab affair, but about 10 minutes in my mind was changed.
