A Horror take on the early days of Laconia settlement. It works, but not quite as well as other novellas in the Expanse world. (

While it does not seem to move the larger Expanse narrative forward in the way the other novellas have, this was nonetheless a lovely story. (

Such a lot of story (and menace, and wonder, and WTF) in such a small package. I cannot wait to see where the next Expanse novel takes us. (

The novellas in The Expanse series have been hit or miss, but this one is absolutely perfect. A nice little horror/sci-fi story that sets the stage for Persepolis Rising. (

Kids, colonists and a pastoral alien planet that turns super creepy. (
