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.

I enjoyed this story, and I think this was an excellent first Novella in the new series. But honestly, it’s the most for me is Anderson Mays’ narration. If it is an expanse or an expanse, adjacent audiobook, it has to be narrated by Anderson Mays. He brings the life to these characters as much, so if not more than, the pages do.

Anderson Mays for the win

I loved how they managed to compress a complete story into this shorter work. The livesuit idea is fascinating and they play with it in several ways. It echoes other books like "Old Man's War" but has a unique feel, particularly since it leverages the aliens developed in the prior book (The Mercy of Gods) and it goes deep into biology and the grim details of the war and the combatants on both sides. I did not regret spending an entire credit on this shorter listen, and that's high praise.

Captured my attention despite being a short listen

The writing and prose is great. The main character name Kirin was also likable and relatable. But the ending was both shocking and haunting at the same time. I might never forget. I give this novella 5 stars.

Really terrifying.

This was so compelling, and gave us a totally new perspective on the Captive’s War universe. This dynamic writing duo just can’t go wrong for me; and Mays delivers perfect narration as always.

This may well become a classic sci-fi short story, the great ones wrestle with what it means to be human. This is a great one.

ugh now I want more

I quit the new novel. Didn’t like it. Thought it was too slowly paced, too weird. Too hopeless. Then I decided to give this novella a try, just out of curiosity, and loved it. Then I went back to The Mercy of Gods was able to get through enough of it to get hooked.

Kept me from abandoning The Mercy of Gods

I balked a little at paying a full credit for such a short story but I needed something new from them and it was worth it. Great addition to this universe and wonderful foreshadowing throughout.

The ending gave me goosebumps!
