The Sagan Diary (Old Man’s War)

If you listen in pieces — commute, chores, late night — The Sagan Diary (Old Man’s War) by John Scalzi keeps its place in this browser.

Jane Sagan: Soldier. Killer. Lover. Dreamer. In John Scalzi’s widely enjoyed 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”. For fans of Scalzi’s works, it’s an intimate and surprising glimpse into one of his most popular characters. As read by Stephanie Wolfe, it’s unlike any other science-fiction story you’ll hear this year. ©2006 John Scalzi (P)2008 Audible, Inc.
