Wow!! But, ...

As always, John Scalzi's writing is intense, tense, and full of promise. But, now what? Where is/are the sequel(ae)? C'mon, John! Give!!
Amazing!
By Otter
I liked "Old Man's War," but "The God Engines" is another whole level of terrific. Imaginative and engaging. Wow.
God Engines

Not worth the time it took to read, at .99 it would be over priced.
Good but short

Very enjoyable and not typical Scalzi. I would have loved reading a much longer account of this universe
A fine setup
By RickPlaysWarr
A taste of the beginning of a very fine new universe. A glimpse and at the time when you thing you understand what is going; the rules change. Stirring and very thought provoking. It left me moved and asking the question: "what's at the top of the food chain". Read it and you will understand.
Better Than Expected
By JimmyDT
I went into this novella not really expecting much. Being a huge fan of Scalzi's sic-fi work with the Old Man's Universe novels I was nevertheless concerned he might be stepping into a genre that didn't suit his talent. Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprise by The God Engines. Considering this is a novella that doesn't give the author much time to develop his universe, Scalzi packs a lot into the story. The characters are wholly different from anything the author's created before but this dark fantasy novella succeeds more so because of that. Like any good story,The God Engines left me wanting more. Let's hope Scalzi considers expanding on this very interesting universe.
And then what?

Abrupt ending, ultimately unsatisfying. This book could have developed into something delightful in another 400 pages. Instead it reads like the prequel to a long series.
