A Problem of Proportion by John Scalzi

We head straight back to the fighting in this one, right in the middle of some, in fact, and it is awesome. Even better, we get to meet up with our Conclave friend Hafte and get some more of that enemy point of view. Even better than that, we find out that there is a really mean person or group of persons (aliens can be persons too, right?) out there who apparently don't like either the Colonial Union or the Conclave and are willing to be total assholes to mess things up.

At first I was bored, but then it got good really fast. Loving this series.

Comical and disturbing at the same time. I've found something to like in every episode so far.

You know something is up when the Colonial Union and the Conclave are on a joint mission and we've got Harry Wilson as lead. This one had one of the coolest concepts in recent memory - a little depressing at the end but still cool.

No spoilers here so I'll end the review now except to say....keep them coming....this was episode 11 of 13 and I'm dying to know how it ends.

In Scalzi's universe, even the aliens engage in sarcastic witty banter ALL THE TIME.

John Scalzi's writing is at it's best when it has humor and heart, this chapter has both in spades. In short I loved it.

I think the best stories in [b:The Human Division|15698479|The Human Division (Old Man's War, #5)|John Scalzi|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1341582413s/15698479.jpg|21356077] are the ones where the CU and the Conclave work together on something more than just a diplomatic mission - something like uncovering the mastermind(s) that look like they have been trying to set the two space empires on a collision course. This story is no exception.

I don't write reviews. I'm terrible writing reviews. I had to comment on this chapter of The Human Division.

A solid 5 stars and my favorite of the whole series so far. Looking forward to the next two chapters.

Interesting depiction of how one's own questionable practices are thrown back at them.

Now we're getting somewhere. This is more than just a cute snippet; we've got intrigue brewing. (But how does Scalzi finish in just 2 more episodes?)
