About this listen

In an effort to improve relations with the Earth, the Colonial Union has invited a contingent of diplomats from that planet to observe Ambassador Abumwe negotiate a trade deal with an alien species. Then something very bad happens to one of the Earthings, and with that, the relationship between humanity’s two factions is on the cusp of disruption once more. It’s a race to find out what really happened, and who is to blame.

"The Observers" is a tale from John Scalzi's The Human Division, a series of self-contained but interrelated short stories set in the Old Man's War universe.

Listen to the complete edition of The Human Division, the fifth full-length book by John Scalzi in the Old Man's War universe.

Decent standalone, haven’t read the series

I just listened to this standalone, I haven’t listened to any of the other chapters of the Human division or any of the Old Man’s War books. This was an fairly interesting short story in its own right and presented enough of the world to convince me that I might want to read some more of it at some point.

I have previously listened to the Dispatcher series by Scalzi, which I really enjoyed; I didn’t like this as much as that, although I’m sure knowing more of the background would make it better.
