It’s better to read this after book five in the series, but my own impression is that the episode works very well as a standalone, showcasing the gritty setting, the richness of the scientific details and the focus on conflicted, morally ambiguous narrators. Since I am not reading these shorts in the correct order, I should put a warning here to readers who want to avoid spoilers: The present title is one of the novellas that fill in some of the gaps left in the main storyline. The tradition is carried forward by the creative team behind the pen name James S A Corey with one of the best contemporary space operas. Īs in the title of the classic pulp magazine that has set so many kids dreaming about the stars. I do wonder now if we'll see at least one of these scientists again in one of the upcoming novels though. Not that it was necessary, but having known events from other people's perspective coloured my outlook certainly.Īnyway, even in such a confined space with so little going on, the authors managed to still convey important information and to make it a quite compelling addition this universe. We also get the background of one or two people but like I said: I didn't really warm up to anyone here. Thus, we learn what experiments these scientists conducted, why and how they thought about these experiments and the results. However, as that can be explained by how and where they are being kept, it is nothing compared to what kind of people most of them already were before or compared to the people visiting them. *lol* They deteriorated not only physically (growing unkempt hair and such) but also mentally. their condition in the holding complex was quite "unappealing".

It is about a group of scientists who caused the death of many Martians on Phoebe station with the Protomolecule to study the effects. This is a story playing devil's advocate. I understand that Jeff Bezos announced that Amazon picked the series up for additional Update: Season 3 of the SyFi series of 13 programs has now completed with critical consensus giving the show high marks. The series incorporates science, space battles, politics and human drama making this a fun and enjoyable series, consisting of the novels: "The Vital Abyss" concerns a group of scientists that now live in permanent captivity due to events earlier in the series, and is pretty much a standalone entry in the Expanse Universe although taking place between novels one and two. "The Vital Abyss" is one of the shorter works and marks the first to be released as a printed companion, the rest are e-reader accessible. There exists a wiki of the "Expanse" universe that currently runs about four hundred pages. The Sci Fi television channel has recently begun airing season 2 ,consisting of 13 installments (January/February 2016), season 1 had 10 episodes, and there are also a series of novels (six to date) and a number of shorter works. These two men have created a franchise known as the "Expanse" which is a science fiction series that takes place in the near future concerning a conflict between Earth and Mars and a group of working poor known as the "Belters" (a combination of both planets) who mine the asteroid belt.
