otherwyrld 's review for:

The Human Division by John Scalzi

4.0

---

Heading towards the end of the series, the author has focused here on the diplomats and bureaucrats fighting their own war behind the scenes. The structure of the book is that of a series of interconnecting stories with a rotating cast of characters that dip in and out of each others tales. Apparently this was because the different parts of the book were originally released separately and later fixed-up to make this book. As will all short stories, some are better than others but on the whole the tale hangs together well.
