In the third episode we move back to the diplomatic negotiations with Colonial Ambassador Abumwe taking part in the final negotiations with a alien race they are trying to become ally with. Meanwhile CDF Lieutenant Harry Wilson is off trying to remove unauthorized colony humans on an alien world.I liked the previous episode, but I really liked moving back to the negotiations and Harry Wilson out investigating alien planets. Already in this series Wilson and Schmidt (who has been left behind to be Abumwe's aide) are my favorites of this series. In particular I love their sense of humor, and Abumwe's discussion with Schmidt about their secret language, asking if they developed it as children!These episodes are short, but they are giving me a sense of the world that Scalzi has created. I'm really enjoying them and when I finish I do plan to listen to where it all began, with Old Man's War.I don't think this episode really pushed William Dufris to his full potential, but he definitely narrated this one well. I like how each episode is showing his different styles, and I can't wait to see what he brings to the fourth episode.
