[edit] Tor Free eBook Program

This was the first book in Tor's recent drm-free eBook giveaway program. Should that be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Personman (talk • contribs) 06:23, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

• Actually it was the second; Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson was the first. Scalzi (talk) 20:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] One Alien Race?

I took out this sentence "unlike Starship Troopers and The Forever War, where wars were fought against single alien species (the Arachnids and the Taurans)." The first chapter of Starship Trooper is about fighting a different alien race ("the skinnies")! In addition I think another alien species may have been mentioned in forever war (while since I read it). Regardless, it wouldn't make much sense with just the one book so I removed the whole sentence. Makgraf 00:02, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Skip Drive

Ok, it was decided that the Skip Drive page be redirected to here, and that info on the drive could be put here. I'll settle for that even though I seriously dissagree.

[edit] Cover

I think we should have the John Harris cover for this page as both the Ghost Brigades and Last Colony have those, so it would continue the theme. Makgraf 01:23, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree, it would make the articles consistent in thematic imagery. 70.55.90.218 (talk) 00:22, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Improvements

I would like some links & summery of discussions on this book and the technologies it hinges upon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Litch (talk • contribs) 05:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] split

It has been suggested that this page be split into multiple pages. (Discuss)

I think this article should be split into an Old Man's War franchise article to overview the four books of the series and the universe it takes place in. This article should be more focused on the book. 70.55.90.218 (talk) 00:24, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
