The sequel to Old Man's War... awesome as ever. I am now 100% hooked by this series... reading The Last Colony as I type this.
The Ghost Brigades is awesome because it takes an entire class of characters introduced mysteriously in Old Man's War and gives you an origin story (with a twist of course!). Lots of fun stuff in this one as you get a picture of Scalzi's world from the perspective of yet another super soldier.
Besides the new scenery, layers of political intrigue are introduced and piled on... plenty of action... plenty of moral dilemmas. It was a fast and interesting read.
I don't think I will be sick of Scalzi's universe any time soon. I also discovered there is another book after Lost Colony which isn't a direct sequel but takes place in the world called Zoe's Tale. Consider it purchased!
