About this Event
Co-presented with JCCSF
After a ten-year wait, acclaimed science fiction master John Scalzi returns to the galaxy of the Old Man's War series with the long awaited seventh book, The Shattering Peace. For a decade, peace has reigned in interstellar space. A tripartite agreement between the Colonial Union, the Earth, and the alien Conclave has kept the forces of war at bay. But now The Consu, the most advanced intelligent species humans have ever met, have dragged them all into conflict, in the most surprising of ways. Gretchen Trujillo is a mid-level diplomat, working in an unimportant part of the Colonial Union bureaucracy. But when she is called to take part in a secret mission involving representatives from every powerful faction in space, what she finds there has the chance to redefine the destinies of humans and aliens alike...or destroy them forever. In conversation with legendary sci-fi writer Kim Stanley Robinson. Doors at 7:00pm. $17 adv / $20 door
