It continues the plot, so you donƒ??t want to miss it. I listened to the audio version which was very good. You can each episode separately or all together. We've got a review of the full series here: http://www.fantasyliterature.com/fantasy-author/scalzijohn/ The fourth entry in Scalzi's The Human Division provides a vision of what is happening on Earth now that they are aware of the the Colonial Union and the forces arrayed against them spread across the galaxy. The dialogue is tight and quick, the wit is well written and the secret and mysterious deal that talk show host (and main character) Birnbaum accepts is intriguing and enticing all at the same time. Of special note is the back and forth between Birnbaum and his assistant. The rapid fire barbs and friendly insults are very well written and just as believable. This is the best dialogue in the series thus far, and is well worth the price of admission. I'm very much enjoying this serialized novel and hope that other authors will think about using this format in the future. It gives me something to look forward to each Tuesday, and I'm happy to read the entire episode on my afternoon lunch break. It's fun and reminds me of my love of comic books in my teens...the waiting for the next issue and wondering where my favorite authors and artists would take the story. Scalzi is tapping into that nostalgia, and I appreciate it. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The fourth episode of The Human Division, John Scalzi's new thirteen-episode novel in the world of his bestselling Old Man's War.

Albert Birnbaum was once one of the biggest political talk show hosts around, but these days he's watching his career enter a death spiral.

The problem here, which Al doesn't sufficiently appreciate, is that he has no idea who the stranger works for, or what his ultimate goal is.
Episode Four of The Human Division is set on Earth, where conspiracy theories are thriving, the Conclave has diplomatic representation, and would-be recruits to the Colonial Defense Forces are coming to terms with the fact that that option is no longer there for them when they turn 75.
Scalzi's episodic novel continues to unfold, and this is another strong episode.
Recommended.
