A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

"Oops, I broke God."
I prefer this explanation.
That just made my day.
It's not too hard. You just make the hissy s sound with the buzzy z sound at the same time. ha ha.
I like the cool s/z sound I make. xD
I've heard Brandon say it, and I can't hear a difference between Szeth and Zeth.
I'm probably way wrong, but I combine the s and the z sound.
Oh, I was just being silly.
(especially since my family isn't doing christmas this year, thanks BS!)
You remember how cool it was the first time Goku finally went Super Sayan? Yeah, about that cool.
Like.. how awesome? Meh.. August is too far away.The end of March (when the Szeth prologue comes out in the back of the Warbreaker paperback) is closer than August.
Brandon has read the first half of the prologue at several signings throughout this year. I'm not sure he's read the second half. But the whole thing will be in the back of Warbreaker. (Though he may also be adding an earlier prologue in the final book.) Most people who have read it say it is kickawesome.
Yes. It is kickawesome. The Szeth sections are some of the best in the novel. You will all see. I'm done teasing...for now.
Who is Szeth.. give me more info. I DESIRE IT!
A character, who can do really aweome stuff.

which comes out the end of March.
Start a thread, I'll kick your butt.
Vortx, if you don't want to wait till august for another BS book, you could always try Alcatraz (his YA books). The main character, Alcatraz (who would've guessed?) is a character that has Lightsong's wit (at times), and also a super cool magic 'Talent'. His amazing, incredible Talent? Breaking Things!
It really is quite an enjoyable series, even if only 3 out of the 5 books are out currently.
