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.

reviewed The Last Colony by John Scalzi (Old Man's War, #3)

Not as great as the two preceeding books, but still excellent

Honestly right about here and book 4 was when the series started to stall a bit for me. It never stalled so bad I didn't want to keep reading, but right after this the books sort of reinvent themselves and go a different direction with people who had been side characters, or only appeared in shorts. Still, it's a great introduction to the conflict that gets solved in the conclusion of the series.

Doctena treti cast, ktera to pekne uzavira. Pozdeji dopsany dily prozatim vynechavam.

Kazdej z dilu byl typove/stylem uplne jinej, v kazdym pripade trojka bez predchozich dvou nedava moc smysl, naopak to vse hezky uzavira (toz uz sem psal, ze :-P)

Jako ve vsech dilech neni vse jak se zda, spousta zamlcenych informaci a vlada manipulujici svyma oveckama, ochotna klidne obetovat celou jednu planetu, proc ne. Jako fajn, konec mne uprimne dojal, az sem musel vytahnout kapesnicek. V poho cteni za 70%.
