Zoe’s Tale

Hard-core, fast paced science fiction, John Scalzi’s Zoe’s Tale is the fourth in The Old Man’s War series.

She won’t go down without a fight.

It’s not every day you up sticks and move to another world. But then, Zoë Boutin-Perry’s life has never been ordinary. She’s the adopted teenage daughter of two former super-soldiers. She’s also a holy icon to a race of alien warriors who track her every move. So she’s used to the quirks of being a human in space.

However, this time something’s different. Betrayed by the authorities, Zoë – along with her parents and fellow colonists – finds herself stranded on a deadly pioneer planet. The Colonial Union has also set them up as a target for hostile alien action. Zoë must become a player (and a pawn) in an interstellar battle, which will determine the fate of humanity.

Her father’s side of this story was told in The Last Colony, but Zoe’s Tale reveals a whole new dimension.

It’s a story you may think you know, but you don’t really know it at all.
