John Scalzi Science Fiction^The Shattering Peace

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, the 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 . . .
