| Why it’s on the list | The sixth Expanse novel: a coalition of former enemies has to fight a faction holding the transfer points while keeping a damaged Earth fed — more about relief logistics and coalition politics than about combat. |
Where I heard about it
- The a16z infrastructure team — on the a16z Infra Reading List, in the A tier of its sci-fi section, under The Expanse series (sixth of the nine volumes listed).
About this edition
It covers the war and the recovery that follow the attack in Nemesis Games, and reads as that book’s second half. Told through a wide rotation of viewpoints, it turns on who gets supplied first and what that decision costs politically.
