It's not a bad short-story, but it seems very much like it has been tacked on to Leviathan Wakes, telling a story that needed to be told, but just didn't have a natural place in the main book. Which is probably exactly what it is. With that in mind, the fact that this is a separate book means that not everyone reading the main books of the series will know the full story. If Fred returns, it'll be interesting to see if the contents of this story is brought up at all, or if the light in which the reader sees Fred will differ depending on whether or not they've read this short story…
