Walk the Plank

The Human Division, Episode 2

De: John Scalzi

Narrado por: William Dufris

Wildcat colonies are illegal, unauthorized, and secret - so when an injured stranger shows up at the wildcat colony New Seattle, the colony leaders are understandably suspicious of who he is and what he represents. His story of how he’s come to their colony is shocking, surprising, and might have bigger consequences than anyone could have expected.

Walk the Plank 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.

Will this tie in with the story?

Any additional comments?

I'm assuming this will tie in with the story at one point. A different group than were in the first short. I like to read these as a pallet cleanser in between books.

setting it up for future episode

Good start but it leaves you hanging, like it is supposed to. Dont know where it is going but eager for the next installment.

Short But Interesting

Any additional comments?

Even though it's less than 40 minutes long, it still had enough interest to make me feel invested in the characters and their survival.

short

ok addition to the story. hard to know or care about characters in such a short story. Scalzi is always good however

Not a fan of screenplays disguised as literature!

This audiobook is not so much a book but a oral presentation of a screenplay. I was not impressed!!!

Chilling

Some reviewers complained about this short story, but I found it well written and well performed. Yes, it isn't really a stand alone story, unless you like unresolved stories (remember reading The Lottery in high school English class?), but I found myself hoping for a good ending. You find out what happened to this colony in the next installment.

Read them in order

I enjoyed the series more as I went through each episode. At first I struggled because it seemed like random stories set in this universe. But as it continued and I realized it was interwoven story lines I enjoyed them more. The main characters were enjoyable. It's pretty traditional sci fi fare but still worth the read.

Nice short story

Reminded me of a classic science fiction short story called “cold equation”. This story is pretty well independent of the whole “old man’s war” universe, but quite good in its own right.

Short Story but Good Listen

A Very short story but this held my attention. This seems like it's gonna be a good saga.

It's dark in space

Wow. This is the darkest thing yet in Scalzi's OMW universe. We all knew life on extrasolar colonies was hard, but wow......
