Review of "The Last Colony (Old Man's War #3)" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Nice to catch back up with John, Jane and Zoe. A trip through political theater, isolation, colony building and more. This was a neat tale and one that actually had an ending not to be picked at again.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. It had a few plodding moments where my eyes slipped around the page but for the most part I was glued to what was going to happen next, or trying to figure out exactly what the now moronic Colonial Union had in store for our family.

If you enjoyed the first few, you need to read this. It was also nice to see the author retire the characters as far as I currently know. They will not be dragged out forever but hopefully find happiness where they stay.
