The Last Colony (I keep wanting to write “The Lost Colony”) has a different tone than Old Man’s War and The Ghost Brigades. And it’s not just Roanoke that’s in danger, but the entire human race. They are being played as political pawns and they don’t realize it until it’s too late. It will be a lot more dangerous than the members of Roanoke have been led to believe.
However, the Colonial Union hasn’t been completely honest with them. hmmmm… I think I wouldn’t have signed up for that) will be comprised of people from several different human worlds and John and Jane are responsible for its success. Life is easy for them until the Colonial Union comes calling - they need leaders for a new colonization effort and John and Jane have been selected. Zoe has been adopted by Jane Sagan and John Perry and the little family has been farming on one of Earth’s colonies where John and Jane are the leaders. On that mission they also found Zoe, Boutin’s young daughter. John Perry is only mentioned in the second novel, The Ghost Brigades, which told the story of how the cyborg Special Forces soldiers found and defeated the scientist Charles Boutin, a traitor to the Colonial Union. The Last Colony, the third book in John Scalzi’s OLD MAN’S WAR series, returns us to the perspective of John Perry, the “old man” hero of the first novel in the series, Old Man’s War.
