Die Letzte Einheit, Episode 9: - Die Beobachter (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
This is a review for the series of the Human Division. I have read all the 13 books in a row, this was my first time reading John Scalzi.I was at first disturbed by the series: more than 400 different races, some with very unfriendly intents toward each other, but all at about the same technological development level and strength which makes it none really prevails? It just does not fit with my idea of technological advancement and species competition.Anyway, I decided to forget about the impossibility of this situation and focus on the story, which I must admit is quite good and interesting.The concept of releasing several stories, which at first sounds independent from one another is also quite attractive.This book will not be among my most favourite books, but still a good read which makes me want to discover more the work of John Scalzi. Lt. Wilson is asked by Ambassador Abumwe to be the liaison for the Earth party of observers on the Clarke's latest mission: to negotiate a deal with the Burfinor for biomedical scanners, superior to the Colonial Union's, for five outdated starships. Abumwe remembers the fake Earth party from an earlier mission. Wilson is from the United States as is one of the observers from Earth.It doesn't take long as one the earth party, the leader, is found dead and an autopsy reveals that it looks as if the Colonial Union killed him. It's up to Wilson to figure out what really happened before this whole thing blows up the Colonial Union's face.

Cool. Well-told, self-contained story, but contributes to the greater arc.
