The Last Colony

In this third book in the Old Man's War series we now find John Perry and Jane Sagan following their time in military service and, along with their adopted daughter Zoë, now living as colonists on an established Colonial Union colony planet. They are living a peaceful farming life but that will soon end when they are contacted by a military officer from the Colonial Union and tagged to become the leaders setting up a new human colony on the planet named Roanoke. What will be different about the new colony is that its 2500 colonists will be made up of members from other established rival CU colony worlds and not from Earth. To make things even more interesting, 400 alien races have joined together to form the Conclave of planets and have made it clear that they will not allow any other race that is not part of the Conclave to form any new colonies. When John and Jane decide to accept the challenge of starting the new colony they will find that the CU has not been completely honest with them about the world they are being sent to or about the Conclave and its activities. They will soon find themselves caught in the middle of an interstellar conflict and with their colony on Roanoke at the center of that conflict. Like the previous two novels in the series there are many twists and turns with lots of action, making this another page-turner.
