John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife’s grave. Then he joined the army.
The
good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The
bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races
willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth,
and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth,
the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding.
Scalzi has imagined an interesting universe and there are a lot of
intense action sequences balanced by thoughful, nuanced passages. The
book also has a lot of clever, salty dialogue between the soldiers that
is often quite funny.

In Cell King taps into readers fears of technological warfare and terrorism. Mobile phones deliver the apocalypse to millions of unsuspecting humans by wiping their brains of any humanity, leaving only aggressive and destructive impulses behind. Those without cell phones, like illustrator Clayton Riddell and his small band of "normies," must fight for survival, and their journey to find Clayton's estranged wife and young son rockets the book toward resolution.
