English Summary/英文概要： Captain Ean Tephe is a man of faith, whose allegiance to his lord and to his ship is uncontested. The Bishopry Militant knows this -- and so, when it needs a ship and crew to undertake a secret, sacred mission to a hidden land, Tephe is the captain to whom the task is given.
Tephe knows from that the start that his mission will be a test of his skill as a leader of men and as a devout follower of his god. It s what he doesn t know that matters: to what ends his faith and his ship will ultimately be put -- and that the tests he will face will come not only from his god and the Bishopry Militant, but from another, more malevolent source entirely...
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 所有人都知道，伊安泰夫船長是個充滿信仰的人，他對兩件事的忠誠無可爭議，一是國王，另一個是他的船。
宗教激進分子要去一個神秘的小島上完成聖神的使命，他們正需要一條船和一組船員，於是泰夫船長成了不二人選。

各界推薦：
“If Stephen King were to try his hand at science fiction, he’d be lucky to be half as entertaining as John Scalzi.” ---Dallas Morning News on The Ghost Brigades
"The sequel to Old Man’s War combines taut military action with keen insights into the moral issues revolving around developing technologies. Scalzi has a finely tuned sense of balance between personal drama and the ’big picture’ ... Highly recommended." ---Library Journal (starred review) on The Ghost Brigades
"A mix of Starship Troopers and Universal Soldier, Ghost evokes awakening, betrayal, and combat in the best military sci-fi tradition." ---Entertainment Weekly on The Ghost Brigades
“An impressive piece of work." ---Philadelphia Inquirer on The Ghost Brigades
"Fast and deep…I like the galaxy this author’s playing in, the characters he limns, the situations he’s playing with, and I’m glad there’s at least one more volume on the way."---San Diego Union-Tribune on The Ghost Brigades
"In Heinleinesque fashion, the book is loaded with scenes of comradeship, isolation, ruthlessness and the protocols, which govern the lives of active-duty soldiers. But this is where Scalzi, famous for his blog ‘The Whatever,’ surpasses Heinlein. Scalzi weaves in subtle discussions of humanity’s growing fear of aging and our simultaneous attraction and repulsion to the Frankensteinlike creatures we are able to create."---San Antonio Express-News on The Ghost Brigades
"Scalzi is a natural heir to Heinlein, and his second book in this series is a good old-fashioned space opera, which takes time to question the nature of free will."---St. Louis Press-Dispatch on The Ghost Brigades
