yeah that was a manic fun one… and still very compatible with being a screenplay as essentially saving a damsel in distress and the whole planet. perhaps like Men In Black

Scalzi writes like it’s for a Hollywood screenplay… it’s dialogue heavy with a lot of action. But he still puts a lot of intelligence and knowledge into his books. It can be too superficial sometimes but in a lot of his work it’s the perfect balance of concept and execution…it’s hit or miss but with the misses they are still fun like an action flick.

My favorite series of his would be The Last Emperoux.
