There's not a lot to this, which makes it hard for me to pin down just why I liked it the way as I did. Maybe it was seeing Bobbie again, my science fictional Martian girlfriend. Maybe it was the drugrunning on Mars. Maybe I was just in the mood for it. I don't know. My only problem was it didn't quite feel strange enough; these were familiar tropes in a new environment, and the familiar outweighed the new by a bit too much for me.

Mehhh, this definitely played out better in the show. I really wish this had been from Bobbie's perspective.

Not sure how it will fit in with big story, so for now 4 stars, as I do not see it as significant. No chapters, one POV.
OK read, recommended but not necessary as far as I can see, but that may change when I read the other books in the series, currently reading [b:Abaddon's Gate|16131032|Abaddon's Gate (Expanse, #3)|James S.A. Corey|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1407572059s/16131032.jpg|17606564], Expanse #03.
Reasonably long read (took me too long) for the price, more than a shorty or novella, just not long enough to be counted as a novel, I think.
