Description

Our fate is in their hands. . . The Colonial Union's Defence Force was formed to save humanity when aggressive alien species targeted our worlds. Now Lieutenant Harry Wilson has an urgent new mission, as a hostile universe becomes ever more dangerous. He must investigate a sinister group, which lurks in the darkness of space playing different factions against one another. They'll target both humans and aliens, and their motives are unfathomable. The Defence Force itself is weakening as its soldiers fall - without recruits to replace them. Relations with Earth have broken down and it will send no more troops, even as human colonies become increasingly vulnerable to alien attack. Lieutenant Wilson and Colonial Union diplomats must race to keep the peace, seek reconciliation with an enraged Earth, and maintain humanity's unity at all costs. If they don't, it will mean oblivion, extinction and the end of all things.

Reviews

Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced * Wall Street Journal *
Will keep you obsessively turning the pages until you are either fired or kicked out of bed. This is the kind of thriller that Michael Crichton, Lincoln Child, and James Rollins do so well. Add John Scalzi to that list -- Douglas Preston on Lock In
John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today -- Joe Hill on John Scalzi
Scalzi is a master at creating appealing commercial fiction * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *

Gripping and surpassingly original. It's Starship Troopers without the lectures

-- Cory Doctorow on the Old Man's War series
Clever dialogue, fast-paced story and strong characters * The Times on the Old Man's War series *

It gladdens the reader's heart ... great fun

* Daily Telegraph on the Old Man's War series *
Top-notch. His combat scenes are blood roiling * Washington Post on the Old Man's War series *
