The book wasn't bad. I like the early parts about triggers that block you from receiving feedback. And the early chapters had good examples. Ultimately, I ran out of time before the book was due at the library and it wasn't useful enough to me to go ...more

Great book. It continues the Old Man's War universe but is fine to read even if you've never read the others (or have forgotten the details.) There was a quick recap about the important parts like giving old men new bodies to fight and the Obin. And ...more

There are three stories (the main one and two short stories) set in the Laundry universe. All three were great. The attention to detail is excellent. Some I understood (Turing complete, state machine) and others I didn't D&D rules but I'm willing to ...more
