Now this was a good short story. This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for in an Expanse novella. It was a really interesting story that was separate and interwoven into the events of several of the books. And it was all told from a character that we thought was done with. Excellent stuff. Some parts are a little slow, but they don't last long just because of the length of the story.
