Hard-core science fiction at its very best, John Scalzi's The Human Division is the fifth in The Old Man's War series.
Lieutenant Harry Wilson has an impossible mission. He must help preserve the union of humanity's colonies, in the wake of a terrible revelation.
For years the Colonial Union has protected its citizens from the dangerous universe around them. But the people of Earth now know the ugly truth. The Union deliberately kept Earth as an ignorant backwater – and as a source of recruits for its war against hostile aliens. Now, other alien races have formed a new alliance against the Union. And they've invited the incensed people of Earth to join them.
Managing the Colonial Union's survival will take all the political cunning and finesse its diplomats can muster. And Harry and his team will be deployed to deal with the unexpected – for failure is unthinkable.
Continue the gripping space war series with The End of All Things.
The Hugo Award-nominated The Old Man’s War series by John Scalzi is sharp, funny, action-packed science fiction, in the vein of Robert Heinlein’s classic Starship Troopers. Scalzi’s light touch and comic dialogue make this the perfect entry point for readers new to science fiction, as well as for veteran SF fans. Set in a future where human beings have spread out across the galaxy, the series opens with Old Man’s War, in which 75-year-old John Perry joins the army. The Colonial Defence Forces have the technology to transplant his consciousness into a much younger body crafted from his original DNA – but in return, he owes them two years of service defending humanity from hostile aliens. Space, it turns out, is a lot more dangerous than he expected.
