remo's Review of The Vital Abyss (Expanse, #5.5)

by James S. A. Corey

The Vital Abyss is a novella that expands the world of James S. A. Corey's New York Times bestselling Expanse series - now a Prime Original TV series.

Somewhere in the vast expanse of space, a group of prisoners lives in permanent captivity.

The only company they have is each other and the Belters who guard them. The only stories they know are the triumphs and crimes that brought them there. The only future they see is an empty life in an enormous room.

And then the man from Mars came along . . .

The Expanse series:
Leviathan Wakes
Caliban's War
Abaddon's Gate
Cibola Burn
Nemesis Games
Babylon's Ashes
Persepolis Rising
Tiamat's Wrath

Praise for the Expanse:

'The science fictional equivalent of A Song of Ice and Fire' NPR Books

'As close as you'll get to a Hollywood blockbuster in book form' io9.com

'Great characters, excellent dialogue, memorable fights' wired.com

'High adventure equalling the best space opera has to offer, cutting-edge technology and a group of unforgettable characters . . . Perhaps one of the best tales the genre has yet to produce' Library Journal

'This is the future the way it's supposed to be' Wall Street Journal

'Tense and thrilling' SciFiNow

Otra novela corta con trama secundaria (o terciaria) de la serie principal de novelas de The Expanse. ¿Qué pasó con los científicos de la estación Thoth, los que primero usaron la protomolécula en Leviathan Wakes? Tras la caída de la estación, esta es la historia de los científicos que, como los médicos nazis a las órdenes de Mengele, deben afrontar las consecuencias de lo que hicieron. La novela da trasfondo a uno de ellos, el Dr. Paolo Cortázar, y revela detalles que se mencionan en la novela sobre cómo consiguieron algunas de las cosas que hicieron. Entretenida pero nada que ver con la serie principal.
