Retired from his fighting days, John Perry is now village ombudsman for a human colony on distant Huckleberry. With his wife, former Special Forces warrior Jane Sagan, he farms several acres, adjudicates local disputes, and enjoys watching his adopted daughter grow up.

The host chickie really grated on me, the entire time I watched I was trying to figure out who she slept with the get the gig (I'm guessing a junior VP of marketing at Tor).
Too much make-up that wasn't applied well, jump cuts on ritalin, and uneven sound are not her fault (well maybe the make-up) but the hyper-perky chipmunk on crack vibe was just so wrong for anyone interested in scalzi's stuff, she's got all the depth of a cheap layer of paint.

Should have kept Donato Giancola after his work on the Old Man's War cover. The rest of the covers in Scalzi's series appear lack luster in comparison.
