(Original review: http://hill-kleerup.org/blog/2010/05/...)
This is the third of his “Old Man’s War” trilogy, focusing as much on daughter Zoe as on the series’ protagonist, John Perry, as we finally learn the secrets behind Earth’s government, the Colonial Union, and why Earth is so isolated. The heroes of the tale clean up the whole situation, natch, in a satisfying if potentially too-neat fashion. This Scalzi novel still has strong hints of Heinlein inspiration in it ("Podkayne of Mars" and "Tunnel in the Sky" most notably), but it’s still quite satisfying. I’d recommend it (and anything else he produces).
