This one was much better than the last few books. It is the runup to Betsy wedding and she doesn't have a dress and all of her friends have disappeared. Betsy solves the problem all by herself with no one for backup. I really can't say too much about what happens since this is a short book and to say much at all would give it away. I'm just glad that a few story lines got wrapped up in this book.

My friend Mark has been talking about Scalzi for a while but I hadn't gotten around to reading him yet. In a way it is nice since I now have several books to read in a row instead of waiting for the next published book. This was  real kick ass book. The premise is when you turn 75 you have the chance to enlist in the Colonial army. The catch is you can never go back home.  They want old people for their skills and the fact that they have experience living. You get a new body to do the fighting in and after 10 years they will clone your body without the military mods and you can become a colonist. Turns out of course that we are not the biggest or baddest thing out there. No way to sum up everything that happens but this was a really great read and I've got the next one lined up at the library.
