Review Quotes:
Praise for The Android's Dream
"With plenty of alien gore to satisfy fans of military SF and inventive jabs at pretend patriotism and self-serving civil service, Scalzi delivers an effervescent but intelligent romp." --Publishers Weekly "The whip-smart writing exudes his enjoyment in such a way that almost guarantees the reader will take pleasure in the story as well....Humor is hard to do well; it has to be natural, non-intrusive and funny at the same time. Scalzi pulls it off exceptionally well." --SFSignal.com "This novel reads like prime-period Robert A. Heinlein, cyber-charged for the 21st century. ...just a whole lot of old-fashioned SF fun....Highly, and enthusiastically, recommended." --SF SitePraise for John Scalzi "Provocative and unexpected." --The Wall Street Journal on The Collapsing Empire
"Scalzi continues to be almost insufferably good at his brand of fun but think-y sci-fi adventure." --Kirkus Reviews on The Collapsing Empire "John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today." -Joe Hill "If anyone stands at the core of the American science fiction tradition at the moment, it is Scalzi." --The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, Third Edition "Scalzi is a master at creating appealing commercial fiction." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review, on Lock In
