Our view

“The End of All Things” is easy, light-footed space adventure, the sixth Old Man’s War novel and a direct continuation of the fifth. War, aliens and conspiracy drive the plot, yet the mood stays hopeful throughout. It is written for readers who have followed the series, since the story begins where “The Human Division” stopped.
