Really neat concept and kept me going back for more. ( )

This novella appears to be very different from the novels, such as [b:Old Man's War|51964|Old Man's War (Old Man's War, #1)|John Scalzi|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170383915s/51964.jpg|50700], for which Mr. Scalzi is better known. Indeed, he warns us that it is dark fantasy, rather than science fiction. I found it to be a bit of both. And, in a way, it's not really that different from his other books after all.

The first part of the book does a good job of getting us into the world, a world where faith is central to not only life, but even the operation of starships. It also introduced us to the captain of the starship, an honorable man, and his ship's priest, a perhaps not so honorable man. The latter part of the book follows them on a special mission where they must again grudgingly work together. It is here where both their faith and honor are tested and the truth about it all is revealed.

What starts out as a story with the feel of science fiction with an overlay of dark fantasy becomes a rather shocking bit of horror. Be warned that there is violence and sex and an unflattering view of religion. But it's really not as bad as that makes it sound. And the writing is whip smart. ( )

Very good! Loved the way it ended. One for the re-read pile. ( )

This is just... super weird. Weird premise, weird setting. A lot of brutality and gore. The "twist" at the end, that the protagonist's god is actually horrible? Not really a surprise, and the ending is just meaningless. ( )

This was good. I was sorry it only took 3 hours to listen to it. It is a sci fi horror story. Be warned; Scalzi has a gruesome imagination and his descriptions are very vivid. ( )
