About this listen

 Jane Sagan: Soldier. Killer. Lover. Dreamer.

In John Scalzi's best-selling Old Man's War series of science-fiction novels, we see this warrior woman as the other characters see her: silent and strong, from the outside. But now The Sagan Diary shows us Sagan from another point of view - her own. As she prepares to leave military life and join her new husband and adopted daughter on a colony world, Sagan reflects on her life, in her own words - recalling friends, battles, and experiences; illustrating all the violence and wonder of her times; trying to fit "an entire life into this compressed space".

For fans of Scalzi's works, it's an intimate and surprising glimpse into one of his most popular characters. As read by Stephanie Wolfe, it's unlike any other science-fiction story you'll hear this year.

The first book of this series I feel like I wasted

First the narrator sounds robotic,and Nothing like jane Sagan in any other book. Second it's only an hour long but I still couldn't finish it. I didn't have a credit available but wanted to complete the series so i spent real money and not a credit on, and It is one long poem of introspection and there is NONE of the elements of anything else in this series that make it enjoyable. Sadly not worth it.

A loooong poem.

I made myself listen to the entire short story, but I'll admit that I did not enjoy it. It had some interesting parts but the style of writing is not one I enjoy.
