A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

I loved this book. I started reading these because of the reviews on Timewasters, and I'm so glad I did. They are really enjoyable. My one disappointment about this book is that it didn't include the short story that first introduces Anna and her relationship to Charles. I had read it, and since it was also called Cry Wolf, I had thought it would be part of the novel. I wish it had been included.

Yes, I agree. I don't know why thy didn't include the short story as well, it would have been useful to read previously to the story.

Briggs is one of my favorite authors lately. I'm hopelessly hooked on the Mercy books and the Anna books now. I need to go hunt down (haha, get it?) that short story so I can read it. Anything to help tide me over until Bone Crossed comes out!
