The Last Colony

by John Scalzi · Old Man's War series

Retired soldiers John Perry and Jane Sagan have settled into quiet colonial life on Huckleberry, raising their daughter and mediating disputes. But their peaceful existence shatters when they're recruited to lead a new colony—one that becomes a pawn in dangerous interstellar politics. Scalzi blends domestic drama with high-stakes space opera in this series continuation.
