I have loved all of these books, but this may be my favorite one yet. The stories move quickly and there is a lot of technical, plausible space stuff that I don’t even have to really understand to enjoy. Would wholly recommend this series.

A solid and inevitable reread. I don’t often buy books- so far I’ve only ever invested in two book series, and with the conclusion of the fifth Expanse book I now have to save up for buying these guys

As said in other books... nobody was on a waterhauler like the Cantebury for a reason and so some of the crew leaves to go face some of their pasts.
