Product Description:
Retired from his fighting days, John Perry is now village ombudsman for a human colony on distant Huckleberry. With his wife, former Special Forces warrior Jane Sagan, he farms several acres, adjudicates local disputes, and enjoys watching his adopted daughter grow up.
That is, until his and Jane's past reaches out to bring them back into the game — as leaders of a new human colony, to be peopled by settlers from all the major human worlds, for a deep political purpose that will put Perry and Sagan back in the thick of interstellar politics, betrayal, and war.

The first book was truly amazing, wow what an adventure. The second was quite good as well, with as much excitement as the first. However, this third one is lifeless compared to either of the first two. I just kept waiting for something more to happen, but it goes quite slow throughout.
He has them go back to being plain ole humans, which doesn't give a lot to work with. It ends up being too much like real life... which is boring.. which is why we read science fiction to begin with. ... Read More

Scalzi's third book, at least to start, moves at an easier pace than the ones before. The protagonists of the last books have retired from the military and cast off their olive drab (skin that is).

Uprooting their family hurts a bit, but they agree. They and settlers from ten planets set out for their new home on Roanoke, named for a colony from ... Read More

Not too bad to read on a plane - which is where I read it - but definitely not as good a read as the two Scalzi books that preceded it. Too much talking, not enough action, and a less compelling story line.

John Perry, the main character of the excellent _Old Man's War_, which kicks off this trilogy, has left the Colonial Defense Forces and is a colonial administrator (ombudsman) on a quiet farming colony with his wife, Jane Sagan (formerly of the Special Forces), and their adopted 13 year old daughter Zoe. General Rybicki, a man from Perry's past, arrives with a proposal that he and Jane lead a new colony that is being planned. After eight years of peaceful predictability, he's ready for a change.

A good story. Guy just can't write them fast enough. Rushed the ending a little bit but overall a good job. Makes you hope this is not the end of the story.
