How do you tell your part in the biggest tale in history?
I ask because it's what I have to do. I'm Zoe Boutin Perry: A colonist stranded on a deadly pioneer world. Holy icon to a race of aliens. A player (and a pawn) in a interstellar chess match to save humanity, or to see it fall. Witness to history. Friend. Daughter. Human. Seventeen years old.
Everyone on Earth knows the tale I am part of. But you don't know my tale: How I did what I did — how I did what I had to do — not just to stay alive but to keep you alive, too. All of you. I'm going to tell it to you now, the only way I know how: not straight but true, the whole thing, to try make you feel what I felt: the joy and terror and uncertainty, panic and wonder, despair and hope. Everything that happened, bringing us to Earth, and Earth out of its captivity. All through my eyes.
It's a story you know. But you don't know it all.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“The Last Colony will kick your butt across the galaxy and make you care.” —Rick Kleffel, The Agony Column, on The Last Colony
“Scalzi's captivating blend of off-world adventure and political intrigue remains consistently engaging.” —Booklist on The Last Colony
“In Heinleinesque fashion, the book is loaded with scenes of comradeship, isolation, ruthlessness and the protocols, which govern the lives of active-duty soldiers. But this is where Scalzi, famous for his blog ‘The Whatever,' surpasses Heinlein. Scalzi weaves in subtle discussions of humanity's growing fear of aging and our simultaneous attraction and repulsion to the Frankenstein-like creatures we are able to create.” —San Antonio Express-News on The Ghost Brigades
Featured Article: The Most Stellar Sci-Fi Authors of All Time
Science fiction is a genre as diverse as you can imagine. There are stories that take place in deep space, often depicting teams exploring or running away from something; stories that focus on life at the most cellular level, such as a pandemic tale; and stories that take place in times that feel similar to our own. Depicting themes of existentialism, philosophy, hubris, and personal and historical trauma, sci-fi has a cadre of topics and moods.

But as a collective work, the world Scalzi creates is without peer. From Asimov to Tolkien , I have never been left so satisfied and at the sane time wanting more.
The “Old Mans War” SAGA is A MASTERPIECE!!!
Like nothing before it.

Zoe's Tale Tells the Last Colony Thur A Teens Eyes
Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
Scalzi's attempt at teenage fiction is OK. The story fills up a few gaps left in, and gives an alternative view on, the events described in the Last Colony.
Cons:
Narration was OK, but could be better. The narrator could have checked the proper pronunciation of the names before massing them up. 😅 Also, depending on your age and mood, you may find the book style fun or less than engaging...
Overall:
Unlike the other books in the series, this one is not something I want to go through more than once.
Not bax, but the performance could be better...
