Summary: 4 Stars
"The Last Colony" by John Scalzi
John Perry and Jane have finally left behind their military life and with their new adopted daughter Zoë have settled down on the Planet Huckleberry where John acts as the Village ombudsman. It would appear that the Colonial Union isn't quite finished with John and Jane however as a new Planet ominously named Roanoke needs a leader and John and Jane have been selected. Curiosity and idealistic thoughts of adventure draw them to the stars once again but they are in for more than they bargained for...
Scalzi once again writes an interesting book chock full of signature Scalzi science fiction, dialogue, characters and sarcasm.
The Good: As has been the case with all of Scalzi's work that I have read thus far, great story, interesting characters, great thoughts on the science behind science fiction and dialogue full of sarcastic humor.
The Bad: Nothing memorable.
Overall: If you have enjoyed other books by John Scalzi then you won't be disappointed with "The Last Colony"
