Amazingly compact story of loss and recovery with two of the best characters from the Expanse universe. Metaphor blended in throughout the entire work results in a one-of-a-kind, satisfying, Belter cocktail.

Masterfully Compact Sci Fi

I loved it but it’s short. It was a waisted credit since audible offers the whole short story collection in one volume for the same amount of credits

Good but don’t spend the credit. They have the whole short story collection in one volume for the same amount of credits
