Novela corta que se hace muy corta, sobre la toma de la estación Anderson por parte del coronel Fred Johnson, personaje muy importante de la saga The Expanse, con la que ando últimamente enganchadísimo. En este relato se nos muestra (de manera convincente) cómo este personaje pasó de ser un "carnicero", matando a miles de civiles del cinturón de asteroides, a ser el representante político del Cinturón. Ya era un personaje agradable y este relato de trasfondo lo hace aún más.
