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.

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%.

End of the trilogy

Found as EN "boxed set" and read the trilogy (with Old Man's War & The Ghost Brigades) in less than a week (nights mainly). Obvious ending, but better than #2 IMHO

This is a great book. I like the story and the humour.
Some of descriptions of aliens remind me of the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

My only suggestion is to pretend that this book series had only three books.

Probably my favorite old man's war book yet. There was plenty of action but not overheating and Scalzi stepped up his political game a bit in this one. Each of the characters were believable and realistic. Great read.

Somehow the weaker of the three. While the story is solid, there are less hurdles to jump, making it kind of plain. Slightly disappointing way to finish the trilogy.
