The Last Colony

Military Science Fiction Adventure

De: John Scalzi

Narrado por: William Dufris

Hard-core military science fiction at its very best, John Scalzi's The Last Colony is the third in The Old Man's War series.

They must save themselves – or die trying.

John Perry was living peacefully on one of humanity's colonies – until he and his wife were offered an opportunity these ex-supersoldiers couldn't resist. To come out of retirement and lead a new frontier world.

However, once on the planet, they discover they've been betrayed. For this colony is a pawn in an interstellar game of war and diplomacy. Humanity's Colonial Union has pitched itself against a new, seemingly unstoppable alien alliance, dedicated to ending all human colonization.

As this contest rages above, Perry struggles to keep his terrified colonists alive on the surface below – despite dangerous interstellar politics, violence and treachery. And the planet has yet to reveal its own fatal secrets.

Reseñas de la Crítica

John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today

Gripping and surpassingly original. It's Starship Troopers without the lectures . . . It's funny, it's sad, and it's true

A fast-paced political thriller laced with observant characterization, great dialogue, and some genuinely original science

Clever dialogue, fast-paced story and strong characters

Top-notch. His combat scenes are blood roiling

Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced

Astonishingly proficient

Scalzi's prose harkens back to the Golden Age of science fiction while still remaining fresh and vibrant

Great book

I have yet to read a bad book from this author. Always with a twist. I like this reader.I listen to most books at higher speeds up to 35%

Awesome story, but nerrator need some work

Great story, but.. The nerrator's pauses between paragraphs are a bit too short, and I would have liked more diffrent voices for the characters.

I never expected to say "Positive Dark War Drama"

I'm not sure if that is entirely accurate, but suffice it to say that I loved the story, and how well it was narrated. Especially the way the narrator adjusted his way of speaking to the situations.

Hard downgrade after the first 2 books

Family life with a teenage kid and an endless string of lucky conveniences. I was happy when it was over. Big disappointment after the awesome first 2 books.
