À propos de cet audio
Retired from his fighting days, John Perry is now village ombudsman for a human colony on distant Huckleberry. With his wife, former Special Forces warrior Jane Sagan, he farms several acres, adjudicates local disputes, and enjoys watching his adopted daughter grow up.
That is, until his and Jane's past reaches out to bring them back into the game — as leaders of a new human colony, to be peopled by settlers from all the major human worlds, for a deep political purpose that will put Perry and Sagan back in the thick of interstellar politics, betrayal, and war.
The highly anticipated conclusion to John Scalzi's SF trilogy begun with Old Man's War and The Ghost Brigades concludes with The Last Colony

Well Worth the Read
I was expecting more from the ending due to the buildup but a great story nonetheless.

Great book!
Great continuation of the storyline. The narration is amazing in my opinion. I agree with the other reviews. Scalzi has a tendency to overdue the "He said, I said, she said stuff" which is obviously accentuated with narration.

Still loved the book
The story was great and I am still quite immersed in the series, but somewhere between book 2 and 3, the narrator started saying “he said”, “she said”, “I said” until it became so distracting I could hardly stand it. I am going to skip a book and hopefully it improves.

Just ok - won’t read again
I spent much of this story deciding if I would continue into the next one or not. For 3/4 I was positive I would not. I’m still not sure. It’s not great - it’s just ok, but I like series of books so I might continue.

Overly Dramatic
I preferred the first two books to this addition. The Performance was weepy and overly dramatic. If anything, I found myself fast forwarding over some parts just so I didn't have to listen to an adult male try to sound like an upset teenage girl. it took effort to keep interested once the Colony was established.

Shallow and lacking
The series starts off strong and with so much potential. But by this the third book he seems to have run out of momentum to write engaging story and to explore the world(s) he has created. Instead of digging into issues of consciousness, politics, alien races, war, etc. he spends his time on the petty relationships of a small number of characters to which everything in the human universe seems to happen. The ragtag bunch of humans defeats armies and armadas with surprising secret technology that appears out of nowhere, TWICE!
Characters become flat caricatures of their un-nuanced personalities. All the fascinating technology, world, and geo-politics are glazed over. By the end my eyes rolled off the page. The last sentence of the book is painfully predictable and clichéd that it made me put the series down.
Performance by the reader is great though.

Good book. Unimaginative reading.
Scalzi writes provocative, interesting spec fiction with a long-game vision for his settings and characters. He has balanced engrossing narrative with incisive social commentary about topics I won’t disclose for fear of spoilers.
However, the reader of this title, who has read all the Old Man’s War titles so far, seems to be out of his depth; Scalzi’s dialogue has huge potential for nuance, but every time a character opens his or her mouth they end up sounding like an inch-deep caricature.
I find myself wishing the narrator of Scalzi’s Android’s Dream and Lock In books had been on board for this series. I’m excited to be listening to the ‘Last Colony’ alternate POV story ‘Zoe’s Tale’, with an absolutely captivating reader, which gives me hope for ‘The End of All Things’, also featuring the same artist.
Would I recommend it? Depends on how sensitive you are to the impact of the reader. I might suggest listening to more than just the sample before making up your mind, though!
