Following the events of The Last Colony, John Scalzi tells the story
of the fight to maintain the unity of the human race.
The people of Earth now know that the human Colonial Union has kept them
ignorant of the dangerous universe around them. For generations the CU
had defended humanity against hostile aliens, deliberately keeping Earth
an ignorant backwater and a source of military recruits. Now the CU's
secrets are known to all. Other alien races have come on the scene and
formed a new alliance--an alliance against the Colonial Union. And
they've invited the people of Earth to join them. For a shaken and
betrayed Earth, the choice isn't obvious or easy.
Against such possibilities, managing the survival of the Colonial Union
won't be easy, either. It will take diplomatic finesse, political
cunning...and a brilliant B Team, centered on the resourceful Lieutenant
Harry Wilson, that can be deployed to deal with the unpredictable and
unexpected things the universe throws at you when you're struggling to
preserve the unity of the human race.
Being published online from January to April 2013 as a three-month
digital serial, The Human Division will appear as a full-length novel
of the Old Man's War universe, plus--for the first time in print--the
first tale of Lieutenant Harry Wilson, and a coda that wasn't part of
the digital serialization.
