Summary
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.

A fantastic follow up
I loved Old Man's War, but I didn't feel Ghost Brigades hit the same high notes. I enjoy it, but I felt it was a slightly inferior effort. I do however, love The Last Colony. Worth a listen!

Good story but even better world expansion
Political intrigue, interesting characters, surprising battles, this book has exactly what you want.
Even though the premise of the story seems to point to a boring story, especially after the previous books, the twists of the story deliver a surprisingly captivating story.

Treads water a little
This is a good continuation of the series but it felt a little pedestrian. Neither plot or characters really break a sweat. That said, if you enjoyed the preceding books you'll probably enjoy this one too.

Lightweight
I listened to this on headphones as I pottered around the house, fussed in the shed, and went for short walks. The storyline was undemanding and not especially imaginative. Had hoped for more after the first two instalments. Fekt like this was targeted at a YA audience. Won't be continuing with this series.

Brilliant all round.
Great story, gripping from start to finish. Engaging characters presented so well that I feel I've met them, but I expect that from Scalzi. My first book read by Dufris, but it won't be my last, because he is BRILLIANT. All in all, one of my favourite audiobooks ever, and I've listened to hundreds.

Excellent continuation of a superb story arc!
Another great instalment to the series. It reads well as a standalone book. Though of course if slots into the ongoing saga of a fascinating future. Thoroughly recommend this whole series! Well read. Great voice changes. And interesting ideas and portrayals of human nature.
