5/30/2023 0 Comments The Last Colony by John ScalziI did notice an increasing tendency to make things a bit too much on the nose. stupid fucking Colonial Union, they've been long overdue for a knock-out.Īs usual the writing is pleasant and also generic. this is the third book in the series and the preceding books almost function as a wind-up to what turns out to be a mean right hook. but he also finally gets to openly slam the Colonial Union and their war-mongering, secretive, tunnel-visioned ways. sympathetic characters because Scalzi is a sympathetic sort of author. his love of people is on display as ever, and although his characters often lack depth and aren't particularly interesting, they are still warmly characterized and pleasant to be around. so he gets to have his cake and eat it too. he's a humanist who loves the individual as well as a scornful critic who slams systems, systematized secrecy, imperialism, and the use of conflict as a way to achieve goals. John Scalzi sort of agrees but sort of doesn't. Stupid fucking humans, you are the worst! always getting shit wrong and not caring!
