Last year, I read the Old Man’s War series by John Scalzi, and struggled to put together reviews for the latter books.

Alexia flies in a dirigible and attends a mummy-unwrapping party, which was apparently a thing.

Fortunately for Mac (and the monsters), the guy was high and will forget what he saw in a few hours. Unfortunately for Mac (and the rest of the world), the guy was high on a new drug called […]
