"Zoe's Tale" (John Scalzi) - I really enjoy the "Old Man's War" universe, and Scalzi's style. That said, I am rather disappointed with this one.
Zoe's Tale is basically a retelling of "Lost Colony" from the point of view of Zoe. In the Acknowledgments, Scalzi tells how he thought this book would be easy - but it turned out very hard. Given his rather low bandwidth (one per year, which is typical for authors), I'd much rather see a new story.
I don't like to reread books. This one was different enough, and it has been long enough since I read LC, that I wasn't bothered. It was somewhat engaging; although it is more characterization, where the other OMW books focus more on events.
