The Last Colony

In 'The Last Colony,' John Perry and Jane Sagan, protagonists from the acclaimed 'Old Man's War' series, have retired from their fighting days to a peaceful existence on the distant colony world of Huckleberry. John serves as the village ombudsman, raising his adopted daughter and enjoying a quiet life with Jane, a former Special Forces warrior. However, their past as elite soldiers and vital figures in humanity's interstellar expansion catches up to them. They are unexpectedly called back into service by the Colonial Defense Forces (CDF) to lead a new, ambitious human colony. This isn't just any colony; it's a strategically crucial endeavor, comprised of settlers from all major human worlds, designed to serve a profound political purpose. Thrust back into the complex, often treacherous, world of interstellar politics, Perry and Sagan find themselves navigating betrayals, hidden agendas, and the looming threat of war. Their mission to establish humanity's last, and perhaps most important, colony will challenge their leadership, their loyalties, and the very future of mankind in a hostile galaxy.
