Publisher's Summary

Jane Sagan: Soldier. Killer. Lover. Dreamer.

In John Scalzi's best-selling Old Man's War series of science-fiction novels, we see this warrior woman as the other characters see her: silent and strong, from the outside. But now The Sagan Diary shows us Sagan from another point of view - her own. As she prepares to leave military life and join her new husband and adopted daughter on a colony world, Sagan reflects on her life, in her own words - recalling friends, battles, and experiences; illustrating all the violence and wonder of her times; trying to fit "an entire life into this compressed space".

For fans of Scalzi's works, it's an intimate and surprising glimpse into one of his most popular characters. As read by Stephanie Wolfe, it's unlike any other science-fiction story you'll hear this year.

Waste of time & does not provide any additional insight to the series

At first I thought it was just the monotonous narration, but soon realised there was actually no point in the retelling of personal experiences. Not only were they unwarranted (readers have already attached these feeling to the character in the first book), but the reading behind why she is providing this narration makes no sense.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
