Book two in the world of Old Man's War fleshes out the world a bit more, while still telling a good story. The main character is new, but one of the supporting characters is from the first book.
Dan W. and I read "Old Man's War" recently, and while I enjoyed reading it, it felt very popcorn. I read it in about a day (I'm not a fast reader), and it was mostly forgotten once I finished. Dan went on to read the second one, and agrees with you in terms of fleshing out the world a bit, which is something I was very curious about. Perhaps I can borrow your copy sometime?
