by James S. A. Corey

The Churn 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.

Leviathan Wakes
Caliban's War
Abaddon's Gate
Cibola Burn
Nemesis Games

Persepolis Rising
Tiamat's Wrath

Novela corta que narra los orígenes de Amos Burton, el mecánido de a bordo del Rocinante, en la saga The Expanse, a la que ya estoy irremediablemente enganchado. Amos nace y se cría en el Baltimore del S. XXIII (tal vez XXII), que tanto se parece al de nuestros días en cuanto a la degeneración humana y a la economía sumergida. The Churn es "la redada", en la que las vidas de los protagonistas cambian para siempre y Amos se convierte en quien es en la saga principal. Un relato muy interesante, para leer cuando uno ya cree que conoce a Amos, y que explica su viaje a la tierra en el tomo 5 de la saga. Recomendable.
