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.… (plus d'informations)

An odd little collection of philosophical internal monologues from a futuristic special-ops soldier being decommissioned. I never really quite bought the voice, which seemed much too mature and educated for a piece of meat grown in a vat, trained to fight at an accelerated rate, turned out to battle, and alive for only a relatively few years. But props to John Scalzi for good writing and experimenting with the form. (

I gave up on this story pretty quickly - after all of the lush world-building of the first 2 novels, this short story was just way too much internal dialogue. I think the part that killed it for me was when Sagan rattled off the 4 DNA chemicals - that just came across as too indulgent, too self-aware and too much of an effort to try to impress the reader. It impressed me, alright - but not in a positive way. I'll still plan on reading The Last Colony next, but this book put a real bad taste in my mouth. (

This was awful. As Scalzi says of himself in the introduction, he writes good action and good dialogue. Having made my way through two of his attempts to write female protagonists, I'm confident that this is something he can't do.

Angsty and too long, this internal monologue actually makes me like and respect his character of Jane Sagan a great deal less. Which is a shame, because I loved her in Old Man's War and Ghost Brigades, and in the small role she played in Last Colony :-( (

Backstory of some history from Jane Sagan's POV. Very different from the other books in the series, I did not find it added to my enjoyment of the series. (
