About this listen
Hugo Award-winning author John Scalzi returns to his best-selling Old Man's War universe with The End of All Things, the direct sequel to 2013's The Human Division.
Humans expanded into space...only to find a universe populated with multiple alien species bent on their destruction. Thus was the Colonial Union formed, to help protect us from a hostile universe. The Colonial Union used the Earth and its excess population for colonists and soldiers. It was a good arrangement...for the Colonial Union. Then the Earth said: no more.
Now the Colonial Union is living on borrowed time - a couple of decades at most before the ranks of the Colonial Defense Forces are depleted and the struggling human colonies are vulnerable to the alien species who have been waiting for the first sign of weakness to drive humanity to ruin. And there's another problem: a group, lurking in the darkness of space, playing human and alien against each other - and against their own kind - for their own unknown reasons.
In this collapsing universe, CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson and the Colonial Union diplomats he works with race against the clock to discover who is behind attacks on the Union and on alien races, to seek peace with a suspicious, angry Earth, and to keep humanity's union intact...or else risk oblivion and extinction - and the end of all things.

An end to the series.
My opinion of the end of all things is very much the same as that of the human division. The novella style made it very hard to maintain a pace congruent with excitement and suspense. The first 3 books of the series are a masterpiece and the delivery of the narrator is very on point.

Bit of a let down
As the series has progressed, its moved further and further away from what made it so entertaining.
that being the stories of the CDF and the HFY genre.
The series went out with a whimper rather than a bang.
Also didnt enjoy the female Narrator

Awesome finish to a great series
Following the characters through entire parts was excellent. it allowed the reader to really get to know the characters and why they made the choices they did.

Overall good but some not so
The first three chapters were a redundancy on previous novels but once you get past them not so bad. It has a very different feel to all the previous novels - more a collection of view points along a time line.

A somewhat disappointing entry in this series
I love John Scalzi, he’s one of my favourite authors. This book though was disappointing. The middle third was a political snooze-fest, and the female narrator was annoying. She had this tone of distraut-ness to her delivery which just made everything feel far more dramatic than it really was.
The male narrator was, as always, magnificent.
The opening of the book was great, and I loved that we came back to the mind-ship for the finale. However, the action parts, while individually really entertaining, were somewhat disjointed from each other and didn’t gel into one overarching story in the same way that Scalzi achieved in his other books. A shame.
I don’t regret listening to it though, just wished he could have written up a finale which matched the level of the previous entries in this series.
