Jane Sagan: Soldier. Killer. Lover. Dreamer.

In John Scalzi's 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".

An Almost Poetic Diary

In his introduction, Scalzi says this is the piece of writing of which he is most proud. I can't say I've read enough of him to judge accurately whether I agree with him entirely, but I enjoyed this a lot. The Sagan Diary has an almost lyrical semi-poetic quality to it and I thought it fit very well to Jane's character considering what we know from the other books in the series. Well worth experiencing for anyone who has read the first two or three books of Old Man's War.
