The Expanse continues to be engaging and high quality SF. As a viewer of the show, it felt like this volume was the first to significantly diverge from the TV series. Not only does it elaborate on events that were only depicted in fairly abbreviated form on-screen, the characterization also differed. The Captain Ashford depicted in this book was vastly different than the one we got on the show, for example.

I enjoyed this book thoroughly and look forward to continuing the book series.
