Those that know me, know I love dialogue, and there's tons of it in this story. I haven't read Old Man's War but after reading this, I hope it shares more than the same universe. The dialogue between the characters is fast and witty, almost like a television episode. This is possibly a result of the episodic nature of this series, if it is I'm eager to read the rest of it. As far as I can tell it's not a requirement to read Old Man's War, I found the story explained most of the universe on it's own. In terms of where it fits, whether as a prequel, sequel, or spin off I'm unsure though that's not wholly necessary to enjoy it. A short, sweet, fast paced view of John Scalzi's Old Man universe that made me interested to explore more of it
