- Book Synopsis
- The truce is over. But has the end begun?An unmissable return to the critically-acclaimed Old Man's War series, from Hugo Award-winner and science fiction master John Scalzi. For ten years a fragile truce has held between the Colonial Union, Earth and the alien Conclave. But the Consu, the most advanced species in the galaxy, are descending into a civil war that threatens to touch every living soul in interstellar space. Gretchen Trujillo is used to the monotony of work within the Colonial Union's bureaucracy. But her mundane life ends the moment she's recruited for a secret mission, where she's joined by envoys from every powerful faction in space. Gretchen must navigate a web of alien intrigue to uncover a truth that will reshape the destiny of every known species, or erase humans and aliens from the stars forever. * * * Praise for the Old Man's War series 'John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today' - Joe Hill, author of King Sorrow 'Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced' - Wall Street Journal 'It gladdens the reader's heart . . . great fun' - Daily Telegraph
