<\/span>The Human Division is an entry in Scalzi’s “Old Man’s War” universe. Following from the events of The Last Colony \/ Zoe’s Tale a new political reality faces Humanity and the other species of the universe.
\nThe book itself is made up of a series of novellas and short stories. These are mainly from the perspective of the previously redundant diplomatic service of the Colonial Union as they try to mend fences with Earth and create alliances with alien races. The central character is a familiar face from earlier “Old Man’s War” books – Harry Wilson.
\nAs events proceed it becomes clear that events are being manipulated through sabotage, cultural manipulation and political shenanigans.
\nThen the book ends and you’re still in the dark!
\nThankfully all is dealt with the next book – The End of All Things.
\nThis is good solid Science Fiction from Scalzi. I enjoy his prose style – it’s not flashy but it draws you in to the story without sacrificing character.<\/p>\n
