My favorite part was when everyone discovered that Holden does not have a special chosen one immunity to the blindness epidemic, he is just full of anticancer medication which is killing off the harmful bacteria because it's literal job is to stop cellular growth.

This is an outlier in the Expanse Series, it's feels like a bit of a bunny trail. I get what the authors are trying to do in telling a story of colonization on an alien world, but I'm not sure if needed to be over 600 pages long. 

Over-all I enjoyed the story, but it's not my favorite addition to the Expanse universe. Which sounds worse than it is, overall I am really enjoying the journey of James Holden and his crew. I just didn't like this AS much as I have other parts of this series.
