Gods of Risk: An Expanse Novella
by James S.A. Corey
Gods of Risk picks up the story of Bobbie Draper, Martian ex-marine, after the events of
Caliban's War,
though it's entirely told from the perspective of her nephew. (Bobbie
is staying with her brother; the nephew has a side hustle making drugs
that lands him in trouble.) It's okay. Bobbie is great, of course, but
everything else here is pretty generic stuff. The story doesn't really
make use of its setting, so it barely even feels sfnal. It could really
be set anywhere, not necessarily on future Mars, and that makes it
disappointing. I'd like to see these shorts expand the universe of
The Expanse, but that's not happening here.
