I enjoy when successful authors publish the writing exercises and cutting-room scraps that were left behind when publishing a series of books. I remember trying to write in the early 1980s and going through an exercise to figure out how one of my characters should react to some event in my story; I wrote a short vignette about her from 10 years in her past to flesh out her personality and sensibilities so that I could understand her well enough to write the section of the story I was working on. The expanse authors have published some of their writing that was cut from the expanse series and this short novella appears to be another writing exercise or snippet that was cut from their new series. It's a great stand-alone story. 5/5 Stars.
