Liked It “A nice not-quite finish to Scalzi's Old Man's War stories. There were a few things that I wanted to know more about...(Um, what happened to the werewolves) but Scalzi's writing and characters are so much fun, it's easily forgivable.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“John and Jane return for another go in this conclusion to the OMW trilogy. Fun, but I felt it was the weakest of the 3.”

“This is the third book of the Old Man's War trilogy, and I found it to be quite as good as the other two. Some of the science is a bit suspect, but the storytelling as usual with Scalzi is excellent. We follow John Perry, his wife and adopted daughter on a colony expedition to a new planet. ”

“Last episode in the likable sci-fi saga with dry humor and an original universe...

“Nice conclusion to a great storyline. Good sense of doom for humanity and nice mystery about the planet roanoake too.”

“I LOVE SCALZI! There, I've said it. I loved this book. Loved, loved, loved. Great compelling characters, wonderful dialog... Intelligent protagonists, clever thinking... And endings that *work*.”

“Part of the "Old Man's War" series: this one has the characters from the first two books trying to start a colony on the world of Roanoke, which you'd think would have given them a bit of a clue.

Not bad, carries the long-term plot significantly further. But while normally I like the briskness of these books, for once I would have liked to see things fleshed out a little: you don't get to see much of how the colony is established, and some elements seem a bit perfunctory. Worth reading if you liked the others.”
“This is an OK ending to the series. Not as sly and funny - but heartwarming and real. A good read.”
