Zoe's Tale (Old Man's War, 4) [Scalzi, John]

How do you tell your part in the biggest tale in history? I ask because it's what I have to do. I'm Zoe Boutin Perry; A colonist stranded on a deadly pioneer world. Holy icon to a race of aliens. A player (and a pawn) in a interstellar chess match to save humanity, or to see it fall. Witness to history. Friend. Daughter. Human. Seventeen years old. Everyone on Earth knows the tale I am part of. But you don't know my tale; How I did what I did
