James S.A. Corey: The Vital Abyss (EBook, 2015, Orbit Books)

Somewhere in the vast expanse of space, a group of prisoners lives in permanent captivity.

Review of 'The Vital Abyss' on 'Goodreads'

Ehhh, it was OK. I'm somewhat disappointed to find out that the evil protomolecule scientists are not plain old amoral, they have been chemically "enhanced" to specifically be amoral. For me this is a much less interesting twist than trying to explain the amorality of actual humans.
