It was a big risk to split the crew of the Rocinante as the authors did in this novel, but it paid off in huge ways. Each of the four "branches" of the story is deeply compelling and action-packed, and the stakes feel absolutely massive in this installation. Amos' section in particular might have been my favorite as it was so close to the devastating catastrophe brought on by the Free Navy, but Naomi's zero-suit space jump probably takes the cake as the peak of the novel.
