reviewed The Last Colony by John Scalzi (Old Man's War, #3)

John Scalzi: The Last Colony (2007) 4 stars

Retired from his fighting days, John Perry is now village ombudsman for a human colony …

Not as great as the two preceeding books, but still excellent

4 stars

Honestly right about here and book 4 was when the series started to stall a bit for me. It never stalled so bad I didn't want to keep reading, but right after this the books sort of reinvent themselves and go a different direction with people who had been side characters, or only appeared in shorts. Still, it's a great introduction to the conflict that gets solved in the conclusion of the series.
