The Expanse: The Sins of Our Fathers by James S.A. Corey

The Sins of Our Fathers: An Expanse Novella
by James S.A. Corey

Published: 2022
Acquired: March 2022

This is the last Expanse novella, and also the last Expanse book full stop, to my knowledge anyway. I think there was a plan for the short fiction collection, Memory's Legion, to contain an exclusive piece, but this didn't come to pass in the end. It's a coda to the series, showing us what one particular colony got up to after Leviathan Falls, and one particular character, who we last saw back in Babylon's Ashes. At first it didn't grab me—kind of action-y, kind of slow—but the last third made me sit up and pay attention in a way that made me think I ought to have been paying more attention all along, and wasn't giving the story its due. So, if I ever get Memory's Legion, I look forward to rereading it.

I read an Expanse story every eighty-ish days. Next up in sequence: nothing!
