About this listen
The first novella set in the universe of James S. A. Corey's epic Captive's War series.
Humanity's war is eternal, spread across the galaxy and the ages. Humanity's best hope to end the endless slaughter is the Livesuit forces. Soldiers meld their bodies to the bleeding edge technology, becoming something more than human for the duration of a war that might never end.

Story
Kembral Thorne has a few hours away from her newborn, and she’s determined to enjoy herself at the year-turning ball. But when guests start dropping dead, she can’t help sniffing out trouble—she’s a Hound, after all. Especially when her professional and personal nemesis, notorious burglar Rika Nonesuch, is also on the prowl. Everyone knows you shouldn’t get involved with Echo games. Let alone one involving ancient Echo lords who can turn layers of reality into a gameboard with human lives for pieces. But as the ballroom grows stranger and more otherworldly, it’s clearly too late.

The five most dangerous liars in the land have been mysteriously summoned to work together for a single objective: to kill the god king Joon. He has it coming. Under his merciless immortal hand, the nobles flourish, while the poor and innocent are imprisoned, ruined … or sold. And now each of the five blades will come for him. Each has tasted bitterness—from the hired hit man seeking atonement, a lovely assassin who seeks freedom, or even the prince banished for his cruel crimes.

It’s 1991. Em moved to New York City for excitement and possibility, but the big city isn’t quite what she thought it would be. Working as a literary agent’s assistant, she’s down to her last nineteen dollars but has made two close friends: Emily, a firebrand theater director living in a Lower East Side squat, and Lucy, a middle-aged novelist and single mom. Em’s life revolves around these two wildly different women and their vividly disparate yet equally assured views of art and the world. But who is Em, and what does she want to become?

A Nice Companion to "Mercy of the Gods"
Fills in some of the unanswered questions from "Mercy of the Gods". The story fills in some backstory regarding the mystery of the "enemies".

Tasty morsel from the Captives War universe
Perfect little Novella, nicely thought-provoking in such a short story. I hope there will be more of these. Jefferson Mays is amazing. Nice echoes of the Forever War with new twists.

Powerful and believable
James A. Corey weaves believable characters and group interactions together like Tarantino. This novella hits a nerve at the intersection of the honor of military service and what it takes from you. I’m very much looking forward to reading more in the captives war series.

Surprising Good
I don't review most books I read. So let me start by saying this is far above average. It is both interesting and poignant.
I was thinking it was a full length book when I purchased it, but it is in fact a short story only a couple hours long. It was well done and thoughtful. It really didn't need to be longer. It really makes you think.
When I say it was good I don't mean it was good for science fiction, I mean it was good for any genre. It was probably the best short story I have read since "The Egg" by Andy Weir.
Definitely worth reading. I'm glad I have it in my collection.
