Scalzi is ever so nicely tying the previous chapters/episodes together into a pretty decent narrative. This one was a spy story that brought together the Captain of the Clarke & Wilson while still keeping us tied with Abumwe. The baseball storyline was genius and being a baseball fan made it even more entertaining for me.Scalzi has me turning the pages and wondering what he has in store for us next and that, ladies and gentlemen, is a good thing. This was a solid story in the series, Returning to some of the characters we met in the first installment. The overall story arc is still little fragmented, and it does suffer a little by characters having to tick off past events in order to explain things (more for the benefit of the reader then the book's characters.)And then there's the credibility issue. Science fiction requires a lot of suspension of disbelief, but the Cubs winning the World Series as an awful lot to accept.
So far, I've enjoyed each installment. They are just right for my commute.
