Of all the novellas, I was afraid to read this one because I knew reading about Anderson Station would make me tense. But I loved how it was portrayed through Fred's eyes! I loved especially the last dialog in it.

Great look at Fred Johnson's backstory. Improves his character a lot in my opinion. So much better than The Churn, which made Amos's character worse for me.

Solid little story making me intrigued about Expanse as a whole, unsure what to make of the implications it gives

 An interesting short story that sheds light on how a certain supporting character got his moniker, The Butcher Of Anderson Station. Definitely helped sway my thoughts on the character as he appeared in the main first book.
A great little bridge between books 1 and 2.
