CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson has been loaned out to a CDF platoon tasked
with secretly removing an unauthorized colony of humans on an alien
world. Colonial Ambassador Abumwe has been ordered to participate in
final negotiations with an alien race the Union hopes to make allies.
Wilson and Abumwe's missions are fated to cross - and in doing so, place
both missions at risk of failure.
We Only Need the Heads 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.
