Discover all the books by author, John Scalzi, at Barnes & Noble. Putting the fun in sci-fi, Scalzi's fast-paced books are known for their unique characters that find themselves in unexpected, tongue-in-cheek situations. Often poking fun at typical science fiction scenarios in most outrageous ways, his novels are every escapist's dream. Scalzi's new book,When the Moon Hits Your Eye, sums this up when the moon suddenly turns into cheese and people scramble to each get their moment in the moonlight. Funny, philosophical and everything you'd expect and not expect in a Scalzi novel, you're in for a wild ride with this one.
Whether you're new to sci-fi novels or you're John Scalzi's biggest fan, his witty, whimsical writing will not let you down. Read Old Man's War, Scalzi's first novel that took readers by storm when it was released to rave reviews in 2005.

Not to worry, this book sparked the beginning of a brilliant series, and The Shattering Peace, its seventh installment, is available now.

If you like Star Trek and unique sci-fi favorites like The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, then John Scalzi's books will deliver.
