Adrian Tchaikovsky: Bear Head (Dogs of War, #2) (2021)

Sequels

Honestly the first book in this series was like Predators #1, a glorified war-action film with a larger anti-war and anti-authoritarian narrative. I enjoyed it but war is so vile that even a well written war novel is hard to focus on.

but this sequel, with the development of far-right politicians, aging, and uploaded consciences was fun. It all takes place on mars which is consistently a great setting for a sci-fi novel and probably boasted the my rating by 1/2 star alone.

if you are tchaikovsky pilled, read it. if no I got other books of his to recommend to you.

reviewed The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi (Old Man's War, #2)

John Scalzi: The Ghost Brigades (EBook, 2007, Tor)

The Ghost Brigades are the Special Forces of the Colonial Defense Forces, elite troops created …

Where's John Perry?

Found as EN "boxed set" and read the trilogy (with Old Man's War & The Last Colony) in less than a week (nights mainly). Less entertaining than #1 IMHO, but "needed" to jump into #3
