I don't think I need to read any more expanse novellas. They don't do much world building, not do they tell stories as fun as the main series. There were a couple good scenes for Bobby, but not worth a whole story.

This is just a little snack along the way. But it has Bobbie. And that makes it great.
If you know who that is (Calaban's War), then you shouldn't miss this one.

giltolley's review against another edition

This nice little novella follows Bobbie Draper back to Mars, but she isn't really the focus of the story. It's her nephew David, who seems to be caught up in a "Breaking Bad-esque" drug cooking scheme and is in a little over his head.

This was a good story, but didn't seem to capture me as well as the other short stories in the series, Drive and The Butcher of Anderson Station. Maybe it was just a little too generic, or maybe I feel like it didn't really add much to the overall story, I'm not really sure. It wasn't bad though, I did enjoy it. And for fans of the series, it's more good content within an awesome, established universe.
