( ![]() Interesting book, good humorous banter, and some interesting things to think about. I thought it was going to be a little boring at the beginning, but it got interesting along the way. Ágætis endir á þríleiknum um John Perry, gamla manninn sem fékk nóg af lífinu og gerðist hermaður þar sem honum var breytt genetískt og hugur hans færður í ungan líkama sem aðlagaður var að hernaði í geimnum. Nú tekur hann við stjórn landnáms á nýrri plánetu ásamt Jane Sagan, konu sinni sem var fyrrum sérsveitar meðlimur í geimhernum, ásamt fósturdóttur þeirra. Brátt kemur í ljós að nýlendan er peð í tafli geimstórvelda og Perry og Sagan neyðast til að beita ýmsum óhefðbundnum ráðum til að tryggja afkomu sína og félaga. Sagan er hnyttin og gagnrýnin á yfirvöld sem oft leika sér af hirðuleysi með líf smáborgarana og er ágætis afþreying. A great finish to this series. An interesting and unusual premise, page-turning prose and great characters. Fun. Excellent "end" to the series. Which it isn't because I'm now reading book 4. no reviews | add a review
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.
