The Ghost Brigades is a book about a traitor, his research, and the Special Forces of the Colonial Union. Jared Dirac was created for two purposes. Number one is to be a member of the Special Forces and two, to carry around the consciousness of the traitor Charles Boutin. The story is good and sort of stalls out for me towards the end when the evil scientist goes "Bwahahahaha" and starts revealing his evil plan to take over the world. It is Jared Dirac's job to stop him. Or is it? That is the job of Jane Sagan, one of the heroes in the first book, Old Man's War., to find out. Is Jarad really Jared or is he Charles Boutin. With the balance of mankind life as they know it Johns Scalzi puts Generals, Majors, scientist, and other Special Forces members in Jared's team have to fight through.
The Ghost Brigades is a good book and even if in my opinion it stalls out a little it is still worth the investment of time for the entertainment you get from reading it. Only a small handful of characters return from the first book I think you need to read Old Man's War before you read this.
