Plot Synopsis

"Zoe's Tale" is a retelling of Scalzi's third Old Man's War novel, "The Last Colony", written as a first-person narrative from the viewpoint of Zoë Boutin Perry.cite web|url=http://www.fantasybookspot.com/node/2898|title=Zoe's Tale by John Scalzi|publisher=Fantasy Book Spot|accessdate=2008-09-07|date=2008] Zoë is the 17-year old adopted daughter of John Perry and Jane Sagan, two former-soldiers-turned-colonists who were the subjects of Scalzi's first book, "Old Man's War". Her biological father, Charles Boutin, created a device capable of giving a race of creatures, called the Obin, consciousness. The Obin worshipped him, but he was killed out of greed, and so his daughter, Zoë, became a demigod to them.cite book|title=Zoe's Tale|last=Scalzi|first=John|date=2008|isbn=978-0-76531698-1|publisher=Tor Books]
