After a lackluster episode 2 (the 2nd story in his 13 story episodic tale called The Human Division) Scalzi gets his mojo back in this one.
We've got Harry Wilson as a strong supporting character but Ambassador Abumwe really steals the show in this episode (that does tie in the aforementioned episode 2) about a Wildcat colony on a world where they shouldn't be and how that affects negotiations that Abumwe is undergoing.
I've got to tell you - I really love the episode format. Kind of a stand alone short story that tells part of a bigger tale. They don't all end in cliffhangers but Scalzi really has me wanting more when I finish each episode.
Bring it on.

In "we only need the heads" i feel "the human division" is finally hitting the stride that the first 2 installments only promised. "The human division" is looking like it is going to be at least as good as anything else we have seen from John Scalzi, and quite possibly better.
Third episode of The Human Division, a bit stronger than the last episode and starting to bare some teeth into where this is heading. Being a newbie to Old Man's War series I don't feel lost without having any prior knowledge to the series, and I'm intrigued by what @scalzi has created here. Now I have to wait another week, damn....
So far this was one of the better 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].
After the bigger impacts of the first two chapters, this is clearly the transitional chapter. As such, it's well written but lacks umph for me.
