About the Book: A handful of more or less related short stories about humanity’s attempt to survive and thrive in the universe already long as at colonizing state by other alien races. From thwarting plans meant to put the blame at our feet, to an attempted making up by losing very uneven fights on purpose. From alien diplomats who enjoy our local cuisine, to just simple fight for survival. Like much cuter cockroaches, we seem to be built for just that.
My Opinion: Laughed a lot at the simple, but well placed humor. Enjoyed the good plot twists, and even that little glimpse at science fiction horror where’s humanity, or a few chosen individuals, got to gaze upon alien technology we’d consider… well, inhuman. John Scalzi is definitely a good author, it’s easy to read, and in general the book was just a bundle of good time as I’ve gone from one short tale to another. As for series, this is more of a spin-off than actual sequel to the main trilogy, but worth reading (unlike Zoe’s Tale, I’d say).
