Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Was ich erwartet habe: Wie Zoe's Tale eine Wiederholung der Geschichte aus Old Mans War und nachfolgern. Ggf. mit ein pa neuen Elementen aus Sagans Leben bevor sie John Perry traf. Auch ein anderer Erzählstiel konnte man in kauf nehmen, da es sich ja schliesslich um ein "Tagebuch" handelt.
Was man bekommt: Eine extem Kurze geschichte (~80 Seiten mit Bildern,Leerseiten und einem recht grossen Schriftfont) die einzig und allein Sagans Emotionen und Gedanken beinhalten.
Dabei wird kaum Bezug auf die auslösenden realen Ereignisse genommen, so dass man ohne das Old Mans War und Ghost Brigade gelesen zu haben überhaupt nicht weis um was es geht.
Und für die die es gelesen haben, ist es sicherlich keine 14¤ Wert, wenn man im vergleich die Original Geschichte für weniger als die hälfte bekommt.
Dieses Buch sollte man sich wirklich nur kaufen wenn man ernsthaft mehr über Jahn Sagan erfahren will.

romance, science fiction style
27. Februar 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I would start off by saying this is a wonderful book, but not one for the uninitiated. John Scalzi's book Old Man's War, its sequel, The Ghost Brigades, and the forthcoming The Last Colony form the trilogy that brings to life the universe that The Sagan Diary is set in. The 'novelette', as it is termed, are the private thoughts of Jane Sagan, one of the principle characters in this series. Topics of her musings run the gambit from love to war and back again, two often divergent ideas which dominate her life in the Colonial Defense Forces.
I've read both the positive and negative reviews from this book and can honestly say that I understand both opinions. This is a niche book in what is (undeservedly) considered a niche genre and one that is very, very different from the aforementioned novels.
If, like me, you have been swept up into the lives of John Perry and Jane Sagan, I truly believe that this book will further cement your love for the characters. Reading Jane's thoughts caused me to reflect on my own life and love, and for a science fiction story to do that it has to be remarkable.
I think John Scalzi did a marvelous job of capturing the essence of who Jane Sagan is, which paves the way for her further adventures with John Perry in Scalzi's next novel, The Last Colony. In spite of all the very enjoyable action and adventure in this series, it is the romantic subplot that helps elevate the books for me and this is a welcome addition to that aspect of the story.
Subterranean Press has put together a very beautiful book with wonderful pencil illustrations by Bob Eggleton.
I highly recommend that you read Old Man's War and the Ghost Brigades, then pick this one up and let it whet your appetite for The Last Colony.

Check out the free version before you buy....
12. November 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I just heard that the publisher is making the full-text online for free, which is great news since this is such a love-it-or-hate-it book for a lot of readers.
Personally, I'm thankful that I got it from the library before spending my money, altough normally I'm perfectly comfortable "taking a chance" on books by authors whose other work I like. But this... well, to me it felt like pure stream-of-consciousness, literary diarrhea (sorry, I know that's unkind) with little to no editing on either the author or publisher's part. Of course, I don't know that was the case, but that's how the book felt to me. I really have trouble believing this particular manuscript, or this type of writing in general, would have had much chance of being published if it weren't capitalizing on the success of the first two "Old Man's War" books.
The free online version will let people make informed decisions for themselves without risking their money. I applaud the publisher and the author for taking that step!

And now for something completely different
26. Februar 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
My copy of John Scalzi's The Sagan Diary arrived Friday afternoon. Along with a Dunhill cigar and a glass or three of port, it made a great after-dinner treat.
The Sagan Diary differs radically from Scalzi's other published works. Unlike the Old Man's War trilogy, in whose universe The Diary is located, this is not a military sci-fi action tale. Unlike The Android's Dream, The Diary isn't premised on fart jokes. Instead, it is an introspective rumination on life, love, and words. Indeed, the first half might fairly be called a great writer's (prose) song about his love for words. The second half is a moving prose Valentine, in which Scalzi's Sagan ruminates on the experience of loving another.
I've been a fan of Scalzi's since he burst on to the scene with Old Man's War. Yet, The Diary shows an emotional depth at which his prior work has only hinted. It proves that this is a writer in whom one ought to invest for the long haul, as it suggests that he has only scratched the surface of his potential.
