DESCRIPTION: On Earth and Mars, former secretary general Chrisjen Avasarala and ex-marine Bobbie Draper have been investigating a web of corruption - and, in doing so, kicked a hornet nest far bigger and more dangerous than they could have imagined. While Chrisjen finds herself trapped on Luna, Bobbie regroups after a setback... both realizing they've only seen the tip of the iceberg, and that they're in too deep to turn back now, even if it kills them.
This series takes place between Seasons 4 and 5 of the Amazon Prime series The Expanse, based on the books by James S. A. Corey.

REVIEW: The third installment of this bridge series picks up the pace somewhat. Both of them are finally realizing the sheer scale of what they've unearthed, how deep the rot runs and the unimaginable reach of its agents, but this only makes them more determined. The two outwardly mismatched women continue to make an unexpectedly solid team. Neither one takes well to having been caught off-guard, and the setbacks only make them more eager to get at the heart of the problem. But, for all their determination, they are still only two people, one a disgraced Earth politician past her prime and the other an ex-officer on a dying world. I'm looking forward to the fourth installment.
