This is another excellent stand-alone story. It's a locked-room prisoner's dilemma thing, and it is worked out exceedingly well, story-wise.I really appreciated this story, and actually went through and read it a second time once I stopped being surprised. You should pick it up.Read if: You like to read prisoner escape narratives. You enjoy people surviving by their wits.Skip if: You are going to be distressed by psychological torture.Also read: The other books in this serial. In this week's episode of The Human Division, The Sound of Rebellion, John Scalzi contrasts last week's humor with a captive soldier and a lot of tension. We might not see the main characters, but we get some cool Colonial Defense Forces action!The Sound of Rebellion continues the trend of giving clues as to who the antagonists are without revealing it just yet. Without spoiling the plot, I can also say that we get another interesting look at the abilities of the CDF and of BrainPals in general. One of the most fascinating aspects of Scalzi's Old Man War universe is how Scalzi has explored what having a powerful, implanted computer in your mind would allow you to do.Hopefully next week we'll get a little closer to finding out just who is fighting against the Colonial Union.
What do You think about The Sound Of Rebellion (2013)?
These episodes keep getting more and more enjoyable with each successive release. On to episode 10!
