<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A return to the bestselling Old Man's War universe, "Zoe's Tale" features oneof the most appealing characters in the series.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>How do you tell your part in the biggest tale in history? <p/>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. <p/>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 to 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. <p/>It's a story you know. But you don't know it all. <p/><b>Old Man's War Series</b><br> #1 <i>Old Man's War</i><br> #2 <i>The Ghost Brigades</i><br> #3 <i>The Last Colony</i><br> #4 <i>Zoe's Tale</i><br> #5 <i>The Human Division</i><br> #6 <i>The End of All Things </i><br> Short fiction: "After the Coup" <p/> <b>Other Tor Books</b><br> <i>The Android's Dream</i><br> <i>Agent to the Stars</i><br> <i>Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded</i><br> <i>Fuzzy Nation</i><br> <i>Redshirts</i><br> <i>Lock In</i><br> <i>The Collapsing Empire</i> (forthcoming)</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<i>The Last Colony</i> will kick your butt across the galaxy and make you care." --<i>Rick Kleffel, The Agony Column, on The Last Colony</i> <p/>"Scalzi's captivating blend of off-world adventure and political intrigue remains consistently engaging." --<i>Booklist on The Last Colony</i> <p/>"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." --<i>San Antonio Express-News on The Ghost Brigades</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>John Scalzi</b> won the 2006 John W.
