For me 3 stars on the star grading system and a solid 8 for me. I feel much better about the series now that I've finished "The Last Colony', book 3 in the Old Man's War series by John Scalzi. I really enjoyed this book and the direction it takes the series. Finally, we get back to the major pro...
This volume displays much more sophisticated plotting than its predecessors and finally allows us to see the big picture of galactic politics. In doing so, Scalzi finally also reveals what he thinks about the super-aggressive militaristic Colonial Union. It's what I had been waiting for. The book ...
This is the third book in the Old Man's War series. This book was far more interesting than the second book. The main character from the first book is once again the main character in this book (he wasn't in book 2 at all). Basically he and his wife (who was in book 1 and 2) are selected to be the...
I have to admit I was a bit excited to finally get to read The Last Colony. Old Man’s War was a great scifi novel and The Ghost Brigades was only a notch below it, in my opinion, so when I opened this one up, I had really high expectations – expectations that were not met by this novel, unfortunatel...
If a title like The Last Colony doesn't suggest that there's going to be some tragedy involving a story about colonizing a planet, then naming that colony "Roanoke" will. I'm sort of surprised that Scalzi didn't go so far as to call the ship taking the colonists there "Titanic" or "Mary Celeste," j...
A great series...The Last Colony was a good ending to a great series. I enjoyed the "realistic" science fiction--meaning if humanity really could travel to distant stars and interacted with the hundreds of alien species we found there, this is probably what it would be like. Scalzi still has a potty...
Another fun and enjoyable read from John Scalzi, continuing with a third installment of the Old Man's War series. We're back to following John Perry who was the main character from the first book, and his wife, former Special Forces intelligence officer Jane Sagan. It's always a pleasure to be readi...
This third (or third.5, depending on how you count The Sagan Diary) installment of the Old Man's War series is in some ways less emotional and more action-packed. John Perry, wife Jane Sagan, adopted daughter Zoe, a dog who has no particular plot function and Zoe's two Obin escorts move to a new col...
