The Ghost Brigades

In John Scalzi's anticipated sequel to Old Man's War, the Ghost Brigades, elite Special Forces of the Colonial Defense Forces, must confront a dire threat as three alien races join forces against humanity. Central to this mission is Jared Dirac, a superhuman hybrid created from the DNA of turncoat military scientist Charles Boutin, whose knowledge could determine the outcome of the impending conflict. As Jared grapples with Boutin's memories and the reasons behind his betrayal, he faces urgent choices that could alter the fate of humanity. Time is running short as the alliance prepares its offensive against the CDF.
