About
Peace is an illusion . . .
After a decade, acclaimed Hugo Award winner and science fiction master John Scalzi returns to the Old Man's War series with the long-awaited seventh book, The Shattering Peace.
For a decade, peace has reigned in interstellar space. An agreement between the Colonial Union, Earth and the alien Conclave has kept the forces of war at bay. But there is a new force that threatens the hard-maintained peace: The Consu. The most advanced intelligent species humans have ever met are on the cusp of a species-defining civil war, and the rest of the galaxy is at risk of being dragged into the conflict.
Gretchen Trujillo is a mid-level diplomat, working in an unimportant part of the Colonial Union bureaucracy. But when she is called to take part in a secret mission involving representatives from every powerful faction in space, what she finds there has the chance to redefine the destinies of each – or destroy them forever . . . John Scalzi is one of the most popular and acclaimed SF authors of his generation. His debut, Old Man's War, won him science fiction's John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer. His New York Times bestsellers include The Last Colony, Fuzzy Nation, Lock In, Redshirts – which won 2013's Hugo Award for Best Novel – The Last Emperox and The Kaiju Preservation Society. Material from his widely read blog, Whatever, has also earned him two other Hugo Awards. He lives in Ohio with his wife and daughter. Humankind is dragged into a new conflict among the stars. In this military sci-fi romp acclaimed author John Scalzi returns to the Old Man's War series with the long-awaited seventh book, The Shattering Peace.
