Series: The Expanse #4
The author duo that brought you vomit zombies now offers death slugs. I was warned that this wasn’t the greatest in the series, but overall I thought it was alright although I didn’t entirely buy Murtry’s motivations. It almost lost me at a couple other points too, but recovered.
Previous updates:
I think my favourite thing about these books is that they make the actions of each side sound so logical for that side even though you want to scream at them all to just make nice. Or listen to Holden.
I am enjoying this series so much! Both the books and the TV show. But we're here about the book. The third book in the series (and the one that brings me up to date with the show.)
Our four faves are back. Holden, Naomi, Amos and Alex. We don't see enough of the latter two as far as I'm concerned, but that doesn't take away the enjoyment of the story, really. Once again, the known universe is in flux, Earth, Mars and the OPA are trying to cooperate and investigate the ring construct of the protomolecule but old suspicions and ways die hard. Miller returns as well, but only Holden can see or interact with him.
Someone is out to destroy Holden and in the process of attempting to do just that, all hell breaks loose. We meet Clarissa Mao (the sister of Julie), Anna Volovodov, a spiritual leader and Bull, an Earther member of OPA.
Lots of folks die in this book. And there are many heros throughout. I could just recount the political thriller type plot, but suffice to say, it was logical and intriguing. I don't know why it took me so long to read this book, because I was quite into it, but maybe it was the heat. :)
Anyhoo, great read and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!
