Review

"[Zoe's] struggles are simultaneously personal and epic, and....what emerges...is the experience of a teenager coming into her own as she faces extraordinary circumstances and is called upon, basically, to save the world, which is probably both a common fantasy and a common worst nightmare of teenagers everywhere."

"[O]ne of the most likable...protagonists I've ever had the pleasure of sharing 330 pages with."

Publisher's note

A seventeen-year-old colonist stranded on a deadly pioneer world recounts how she became a pawn in a dangerous interstellar confrontation during which she was forced to use her wits and make terrible sacrifices in order to save the human race. Reprint.

Annotation

In Joe Scalzi's acclaimed coming-of-age adventure, Zoe Boutin Perry tells her teenage tale of saving the world. Scalzi gives Zoe a compelling, believable, and endearing narrative voice with which to share her story of personal growth amidst extreme circumstances, while never losing track of the thrust of the plot and the world-building details. ZOE'S TALE is an exemplary illustration of what science fiction can be.

How do you tell your part in the biggest tale in history? Everyone on Earth knows the tale I am part of. But you don't know my tale: How I did what I did -- how I did what I had to do -- not just to stay alive but to keep you alive, too. All of you. I'm going to tell it to you now, the only way I know how: not straight but true, the whole thing, to try make you feel what I felt: the joy and terror and uncertainty, panic and wonder, despair and hope. Everything that happened, bringing us to Earth, and Earth out of its captivity. All through my eyes.
It's a story you know. But you don't know it all.
