Hard-core, fast paced science fiction, John Scalzi''s Z ?''s Tale is the fourth in The Old Man''s War series. She won''t go down without a fight. It''s not every day you up sticks and move to another world. But then, Zoe Boutin-Perry''s life has never been ordinary. She''s the adopted teenage daughter of two former super-soldiers. She''s also a holy icon to a race of alien warriors who track her every move. So she''s used to the quirks of being a human in space. However, this time something''s different. Betrayed by the authorities, Zoe - along with her parents and fellow colonists - finds herself stranded on a deadly pioneer planet. The Colonial Union has also set them up as a target for hostile alien action. Zoe must become a player (and a pawn) in an interstellar battle, which will determine the fate of humanity. Her father''s side of this story was told in The Last Colony, but Zoe''s Tale reveals a whole new dimension. It''s a story you may think you know, but you don''t really know it at all.
