Ratings and reviews

First available novella from The Expanse prequels. This book establishes a very vivid description of the Earth culture and societal structure. The characters are refreshingly stunning and intriguing. I found myself trying to ascertain who was the past who of characters known from the TV series (which, sadly, I came across first). Cannot believe it illuded me right to the end. Brilliant ending! Loved it! Once again, as in "The Butcher of Anderson...", utterly disappointed in the atrocious grammar/punctuation

Love Amos, and this story is a nice look at his background and the people who were once part of his life. Just needed more length!

But then most of this series would. The writers have a talent for constructing engaging characters. And the descriptions of their environment and circumstances is very well done.
