Drive, by James S. A. Corey

Drive by James S.A. Corey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


As short stories that are small part of a larger series go, this is a really good one. We get some good character setup, and then the whammy.
(view spoiler)[The story spends most of its time developing the character of Solomon Epstein, inventor of the spaceship drive that makes the Expanse possible. We see what motivates him to create it, and his relationship with his wife. And all that is disposed of due to the success of the experiment. He grows quite philosophical at the end, thinking about the great future he is making possible but isn't going to get to see. It reads very well. (hide spoiler)]
It's more of a piece for people that have already read the series, but that's fine. If you liked Leviathan Wakes you should spend about half an hour and catch this up.
