A little slow for the first half, then just absolutely gripping for like 300 pages straight! It's really fantastic to learn more about the Roci crew, revisit characters from previous installments, and tie up some loose ends. Plus WHAT was that ending?? On to book 5 posthaste!

A main character is kidnapped by her abusive ex and held captive by him for the majority of the book's run-time. He is extremely manipulative and emotionally abusive to her

and their teenage son

, and occasionally physically abusive.

She escapes, but her son, who still believes his father to be a good man, remains with him

. A group of Belters

launch a series of asteroids at Earth, instantly killing millions of people and destroying the planet's environment in a way that will kill billions more.

Two main characters are caught up in this event and witness the devastation firsthand.

They survive and escape the planet.

As with previous books, there is frequent gun violence and several space battles. There is frank discussion of imperialism, terrorism, and bigotry both systemic and personal, with many blunt parallels to real-world events.
