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.

Rounding out the trio of pre-Leviathan short stories, this book provides a satisfying teaser of life in the Belt, as well as a vision of how the inter-planetary political strife has evolved since the Earth-Mars cold-conflicts depicted in Drive. I've really enjoyed reading these three short stories and getting a window into life on Mars, Earth, and the Belt in the run up to the main series. Fred seems like a more interesting character than Timmy/Amos from the previous story.
