**** (Good)
DESCRIPTION: A Martian engineer's new drive design will change the face of the solar system - but he will never live to see it. An Earthborn hero seeks atonement through death after a raid on a Belter station. A hardened boy on Baltimore's lawless streets faces a choice that will determine his future. An aging Belter, stranded on a colony world, sees history about to repeat itself. These and other tales from the Expanse universe are gathered in this print collection for the first time, including author notes and a new story, The Sins of Our Fathers.
REVIEW: With this book, the long-asked-for print compilation of the short stories and novellas, the long and winding journey of the Expanse universe seems to finally be at an end (though, of course, I've learned that "end" doesn't always mean "end"). I've read several of these as e-books, but a few I hadn't gotten to yet, and the author notes were interesting. As for the new story, it addresses a loose end while touching on events after the finale of the ninth book, as humanity is once again thrust into a new era of its existence with minimal warning, bringing with it the same habits and cycles that have both elevated and held back the species since its origins. Overall, it's a nice collection of stories to supplement the main books.
