![]() ![]() Now, that's a pretty weighty statement in light of his first three books. Wow! what can I say! Just finished reading James S.A Corey's fifth instalment of his Expanse series of books and I believe this is his best book yet. And stories that rely on people, a whole fraction of humanity even, being stupid or bad really aren't well thought out. It's just not credible without assuming the that all the normal people are being extremely stupid, bad or downright sociopaths. ![]() It's really quite bad that the story kinda relies on the people being fine with that bad thing, so very often in that story I just got annoyed because of this. Or not without at least a generation of brainwashing and isolation from facts. Given the gravity of what happened it is not credible at all that they would have that support. ![]() VERY SMALL SPOILER - basically none at all - Something terrible happens, some bad guys do it, and even though it is very very terrible they still have the support from most of the fraction of humanity they belong to. ![]() However this and the following book (Babylons Ashes) have really one big problem in their story. It's great to be on the Roci with the crew and I really enjoyed it. If you are into the expanse franchise this is still worth to listen to or read. Enjoyable SciFi, recommendable, with faults ![]()
