The Human Division

review 1: This is the third episode in Scalzi's Human Division, and Wilson, Schmidt, and Ambassador Abumwe are back. Abumwe and Schmidt are sent to pinch hit for a suddenly ill ambassador in negotiations with the Bula, seeking agreements on trade and tourism. Wilson, meanwhile, is temporarily assigned to a ship being sent to remove a wildcat colony from a Bula world--and it's in this context we discover the significance of events in Episode #2.Having a wildcat colony on a Bula world is bad; having a Colonial Defense Forces ship in orbit around that world to deal with the problem is, if anything, worse. Abumwe and her team were picked because of their track record of handling difficult situations successfully, but this time she's given a direct order to do what she knows is a terribl... moree mistake: lie to the Bula.Recommended.I bought the audiobook from Audible.com.
review 2: Number 3 in the digital series by Redshirts author John Scalzi. We get back to the business of the primary challenge introduced in the first book and are reunited with some truly interesting characters. Political intrigue, awesome sci-fi and a brief exploration of the difference between diplomatic mis-truths and outright lies and why the toll is so high for both. Very brisk but fun to read. less
