*2018 HUGO AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST NOVEL*

"John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today." --Joe Hill, author of The Fireman

The first novel of a new space-opera sequence set in an all-new universe by the Hugo Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Redshirts and Old Man's War

Our universe is ruled by physics. Faster than light travel is impossible--until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field available at certain points in space-time, which can take us to other planets around other stars.

Riding The Flow, humanity spreads to innumerable other worlds. Earth is forgotten. A new empire arises, the Interdependency, based on the doctrine that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war--and, for the empire's rulers, a system of control.

The Flow is eternal--but it's not static. Just as a river changes course, The Flow changes as well. In rare cases, entire worlds have been cut off from the rest of humanity. When it's discovered that the entire Flow is moving, possibly separating all human worlds from one another forever, three individuals--a scientist, a starship captain, and the emperox of the Interdependency--must race against time to discover what, if anything, can be salvaged from an interstellar empire on the brink of collapse.

"Fans of Game of Thrones and Dune will enjoy this bawdy, brutal, and brilliant political adventure" --Booklist on The Collapsing Empire

"Political plotting, plenty of snark, puzzle-solving, and a healthy dose of action...Scalzi continues to be almost insufferably good at his brand of fun but think-y sci-fi adventure." --Kirkus Reviews on The Collapsing Empire

"Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced." --The Wall Street Journal on The Human Division

It’s Fine
Flavor Name: Zero Sugar Beef, Size: 6oz (Pack of 12)
I was excited for low sugar. They made up for it in salt. Way too salty. Inconsistent quality from one stick to the next. Not a bad product. Not for me.

Slimy! Taste okay, but strange texture
Flavor Name: Zero Sugar Beef, Size: 6oz (Pack of 12), Flavor Name: Zero Sugar Beef, Size: 6oz (Pack of 12)
I really wanted to like these but they're really slimy! I've had Jack Links before but these are even more slimy. I normally get chomps or archer beef sticks. I would say these have the texture of the archer beef stick just a bit more slimy. Not my favorite.

Great for snacking!
Flavor Name: Zero Sugar Beef, Size: 6oz (Pack of 12)
Being a diabetic I enjoy eating these for a snack because they won’t raise your blood sugar. Taste is fine and an excellent source of protein.

Gross Texture - Weirdly Soft
Flavor Name: Zero Sugar Beef, Size: 6oz (Pack of 12)
These are literally the nastiest possible version of a meat stick I've ever had. Bought them for the price and for lunches to take to work. As it would turn out, I couldn't give them away to family. Everyone who bravely tried it were met with the same gross, weirdly soft, texture. No matter if it was refrigerated or room temp - it was eerily soft I felt like I was eating baby food. The flavor was... Fine? I guess. It didn't wow me either way, just kinda existed. They are also pretty small, I expected more than 4in per item for the price. I thought the price was good when I thought they were bigger, but when I discovered they were smaller, the price became less worth it. Overall, I'm not sure who the target audience for these it because adults and kids alike did not like them or their weird texture.
