      Hmm. Not such an interesting chapter. It furthers the plot, in the same way as the second episode, but it doesn't include characters to hold on to, to stay interested in. It's a clever enough chapter, but I wasn't emotionally engaged at all. There weren't even references back to the crew of the Clarke, which might've helped.
    • 4/5
      The fourth installment brings us to Albert Birnbaum, a radio talk show host spiraling downward in his career. He's offered a chance to resurect that and more but at what cost? This brings the recent stories to light by showing the antagonist's role in things and how they can manipulate those to their needs. I really enjoyed this one despite it being another quick read (35 minutes). I have yet to read anything in the Old Man's War despite these short chapters within the Human Division. I'm getting familiar with things as they go and it has me glued to each new installment. I actually can't wait for this to conclude so I can start reading all the other parts, but until then I'll steer the pace and keep waiting each Tuesday for more.
