The Human Division

review 1: The ninth installment of The Human Division continues the story line with an observer group from Earth monitoring negotiations between the Colonial Union and an alien race. Unfortunately leader of the observer group is murdered and the search for his killer ensues. I have come to really enjoy John Scalzi's style of writing. I like his sense of humor and the sarcastic side to many of his character. My only minor complaint about The Human Division is that is seems to be more of a series of interconnected short stories rather than a long ER novel. Having said that, I still love the book/stories.
review 2: Enjoyed it. I really like Wilson, I seem to enjoy stories with him in it. I like his dialogue and how he can be funny/serious. In this "episode" I liked how h... moree and Lowen got into discussions on CDF and consciousness transfer. Also seems like it is finally tying in to previous stories, re: sabotage (don't know the "episode" off the top of my head, but the one with the radio dude), which is nice, I hope he continues to do so with the remaining "episodes." My only grip is there seems to be a bad habit of "recapping" previous plot points as if you haven't read any previous stores. I understand this for sequels, but for something like this, especially with a short word count anyway it just seems lazy. That said, I'm in for the long haul. less
