What the Critics Say
"Solid....[Scalzi] sidesteps most of the cliches of military science
fiction, delivers fast-paced scenes of combat and pays attention to
the science underpinning his premise." (San Francisco Chronicle)
Publisher's Summary
The Ghost Brigades are the Special Forces of the Colonial Defense Forces,
elite troops created from the DNA of the dead and turned into the perfect
soldiers for the CDF's toughest operations. They're young, they're fast
and strong, and they're totally without normal human qualms.
For the universe is a dangerous place for humanity - and it's about
to become far more dangerous. Three races that humans have clashed with
before have allied to halt our expansion into space. Their linchpin:
the turncoat military scientist Charles Boutin, who knows the CDF's
biggest military secrets. To prevail, the CDF most find out why Boutin
did what he did.
Jared Dirac is the only human who can provide answers - a superhuman
hybrid, created from Boutin's DNA, whose brain is uniquely able to access
Boutin's electronic memories. But when the memory transplant appears
to fail, Jared is given over to the Ghost Brigades.
Jared begins as one of these perfect soldiers, but as memories begin
to surface, he begins to intuit the reason's for Boutin's betrayal.
As Jared desperately hunts for his "father", he must also come to grips
with his own choices. Time is running out: the alliance is preparing
its offensive, and some of them plan worse things than humanity's mere
military defeat.
