Wow.
30 years after the last book ended....

I'm seeing the Expanse series as three trilogies.
The first deals with the protomolecue and the gates.
The second with the civil war in our solar system - and I'm overall meh about that trilogy.
This third is empire and the results of whatever took out the protomolecule. And I am here for it!

Once I was a bit over halfway through this book, I couldn't put it down. Its copyright is 2017, so a timely time for thinking about fascism and how to fight it.  We're back to a more manageable number of points of view. I'm going to have a tough time finishing a few other books I'm reading and not picking up the next book right away (I did read the blurbs for the next two books because I couldn't help myself).
