Enjoyable little sci-fi story.

I read this short story as part of an anthology. I didn't realize it was part of Old Man's War, a series I previously enjoyed the debut novel, but got no further (yet).

Scalzi doesn't develop a lot here in this story, although it IS a short story, and CAN stand on it's own. However, his consistent deadpan delivery is flawless, even if it is a little repetitive.

Loved it. I'll definitely fill in the Old Man's War gaps in my bookshelf very soon. (

Old Man's War short story - main character is Harry Wilson, who is a bit character in most of the main books. But an entertaining story of a diplomatic mission gone a bit wrong... (

60 points, 3 1/4 stars. (

I don't quite feel the humor in this macho, set our enhanced military guy turned support against the aliens' fighter, but it's clearly meant to be there. Feels more like something written to order than an original spark sort of tale. (
