JOHN SCALZI’S NOVELETTE The Sagan Diary gets a strong review from Professor Bainbridge: “Along with a Dunhill cigar and a glass or three of port, it made a great after-dinner treat.” He notes that it “differs radically” from Scalzi’s other books. I’m reading Scalzi’s next book, The Last Colony, now. It’s a sequel to Old Man’s War and Ghost Brigades, so it’s not such a departure. It’s good though. It’ll be out later this spring.
