The Shattering Peace with John Scalzi at Four Seasons Books

We are thrilled to welcome John Scalzi, New York Times–bestselling and Hugo Award–winning author, back to the Old Man’s War universe with his long-awaited new novel, The Shattering Peace.

Following a brief introduction, Scalzi will take the stage for a solo presentation about his return to the galaxy he built nearly two decades ago, the making of The Shattering Peace, and the ever-evolving future of science fiction. A Q&A with the audience will follow, and the evening will conclude with a book signing.

About the Book:
A decade of interstellar peace is on the verge of collapse. The Consu—one of the most advanced and enigmatic alien species—are barreling toward civil war. Though it’s an internal conflict, the Colonial Union, Earth, and the Conclave find themselves caught in its gravitational pull.

Thrust into the center of a dangerous diplomatic mission is mid-level bureaucrat Gretchen Trujillo. What she uncovers could either reshape the future of human-alien relations... or destroy it entirely.

The Shattering Peace is the explosive seventh installment in the beloved Old Man’s War series—an incisive, action-packed meditation on diplomacy, identity, and the cost of keeping peace.

📖 Additional books will be available for purchase at the event.
