The opening episode of The Human Division, John Scalzi's new thirteen-episode novel in the world of his bestselling Old Man's War. Beginning on January 15, 2013, a new episode of The Human Division will appear in e-book form every Tuesday. Colonial Union Ambassador Ode Abumwe and her team are used to life on the lower end of the diplomatic ladder. But when a high-profile diplomat goes missing, Abumwe and her team are last minute replacements on a mission critical to the Colonial Union's future. As the team works to pull off their task, CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson discovers there's more to the story of the missing diplomats than anyone expected...a secret that could spell war for humanity.

This was a good continuation of the Old Man's War series. it's not easy to talk about this book with out spoiling it but suffice it to say the universe Scalzi builds in this series is incredibly detailed and unique. as I catch up to the current novel I find my self forcing my self to slow down so the wait between books isn't so long.
Read part of the story and listened to the audiobook for the rest. Scalzi sets the stage nicely. I'l looking forward to reading future episodes. Does this count as a book in my 2013 reading challenge?
Hilarious, heart-warming, inspiring, heart-breaking, chilling - all the things one might expect from the adventures of a group of people involved in the interplanetary diplomatic equivalent of shit detail. As this series shows, Scalzi does the banter well, is willing to sprinkle in some bad-ass-ery, doesn't shy from the awful cost of conflict, and always leaves room for hope. I'm so glad we got so many angles on these people in these episodes and eagerly anticipate their roles in the next,what I think is final book, in the series, now on hold at my library!
