The Last Colony, Scalzi. Yes. This is the third volume in Scalzi’s “Old Man’s War” series. After I had become accustomed to the primary mode of conflict in the first two books, I was a bit disappointed by the change-up at the beginning of this one. But damned if Scalzi didn’t find a way to suck me right back in again (and yes, he cheats a little, but only in a good way).
Little mechanical things continue to distract. The odd typo here and there is sadly expected these days, but opening a chapter with a sentence in which the word “plant” appears when the word “planet” is intended is egregious.
