He gives us insight into what it's like to make this sort of move to a colony so far beyond the reaches of anything familiar.īut it was Havelock I found myself looking forward to. Basia, much like Prax, is compelling in his care for his children, even if his early actions kill a lot of people and light the proverbial match to set the book's conflict aflame. Our new viewpoints include two familiar faces: Miller's old partner Havelock, and Basia, who we briefly met on Ganymede during Caliban's War. And Naomi gets captured but never becomes the damsel in distress, a fine line that Corey walks with skill. We see Holden as mediator, something you'd think him incapable of (that being the reason for choosing him) and yet his idealism from Leviathan Wakes has been tempered by age and conflict. We get to see Amos kick into danger mode. We get Alex's backstory here for the first time, adding more depth to his character. The Roci crew is as fun as ever, and as with past books, we get to see new sides of them as we go. And just when Holden might have a grip on the situation, the alien tech on the planet begins to wake up - with disastrous effect. James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are sent to mediate the dispute, but each side keeps increasing the tensions. On Ilus/New Terra, Belter colonists clash with Earth colonists in a struggle for ownership of the planet. The ancient alien rings are active, and the galaxy is open to human colonization. Which was, like all its predecessors, a really enjoyable ride. Guess what? I've finally watched season one of The Expanse.* You know, about the same time as I finished book four of the series.
