Publisher's summary

The final novella set in the universe of James S. A. Corey's New York Times best-selling Expanse series. Now a Prime Original series. This story will be available in the complete Expanse story collection, Memory’s Legion.

Hugo Award winner for Best Series

Through one of the gates, a colony stands alone. Their supplies are low. Their defenses, weak. The leadership is uncertain and the community fragile. Huge alien beasts threaten the little they have left.

But the worst monsters are human, and the greatest dangers are the past they brought.

This should spawn its own series.

The story, rhythm, and character interaction in this novella is what made the expanse so amazing. The last couple of novels seemed watered down, but this brings it back to life. Please don't let this universe die.

a story for our time

A novella about Phillip, Naomi's son as an adult in the future. Excellently constructed story. A lot to ponder that is relevant in our current time. The world is palpable. As usual with Expanse stories, it's a bit grim. But also determined with a glimmer of hope. It left me thinking...

Philipito

I struggled with this character in previous books. I enjoyed this further fleshing-out of him.

Great story

Great story in the Expanse universe. The ending leaves room for continuation of the story.

It Feels Lived In

This one was so good, I immediately wished there was more as soon as I finished. Performance was great as always, and the story is intrigued me. James S. A. Corey knows how setup a universe, and help it feel alive with a variety of stories that can happen anywhere with any character. This is another one of those enriching stories.

Outstanding performance, Unrivaled Series

Cannot wait to start this series all over. Jefferson Mays is the absolute best narrator. The Expanse is the best work of SciFi—brilliant fiction Don’t miss this novella, which ties up some important loose ends.

Is this the Icing on the cake?

Best of all the novellas (so far) this one really leaves you wanting more and proves why these writers are in a league of their own, Trying not to follow in our fathers misguided footsteps is something many can relate to is the theme in the background of this story, fighting monsters both human and alien while surviving on a harsh planet cut off from the universe is in the foreground of this story, It ends just where you think a new story should begin!

and of course Jefferson Mays is great as always

Philips story.

Too short. A little more background information on some of the other players in the story.
