Mankind has discovered a powerful machine built by an ancient alien civilization. While we don’t understand what it is or how how it works, you better believe we’re gonna poke it to see what it does.

Action packed and tense, but still the authors are able to break large world changing problems down to the human level. What I truly loved about this book was it’s central theme of redemption, and what it truly might look like to forgive the unforgivable. While a bit boring when first introduced Pastor Anna’s character really shines at the end of this novel. I ended up highlighting entire paragraphs of her dialogue.

4.5

This installment of The Expanse is an action packed thrill ride all the way through. The first two books have a lot of politics but this one takes off and has you sitting on the wdge of your seat the entire time.
