The Vital Abyss Expanse eBook James S A Corey
All through the Expanse series behind the protomolecule wrecking havoc on civilized space are parties dedicated to the development of the molecule as a tool for profit and power. Even further back in the shadows lie the rogue scientists who have given up so much to work with the protomolecule. This is their story. Warning:this is not a pleasant read,it is inhabited by sociopaths who have given up many of the traits we would define as human. No heroes here. However for hardcore Expanse fans(guilty)it is serious back story and who knows.....it may even have a hint as what to expect in the next full length novel. Written with the depth of craft I've come to expect from Abraham and Franck. Recommended.Product details

The Vital Abyss Expanse eBook James S A Corey Reviews
This review serves as blanket adulation for the authors known as James S.A. Corey. The Expanse novels and novellas have been a complete delight. Just the right balance of drama and humor. Most of all, great stories that are well told. My only complaint is that they are not writing feverishly 24/7 to satisfy my insatiable appetite for this series. C'mon, guys. Sleep is overrated. Gimme.
It took a while for me to get into this story. It fills a small gap in the expanse universe that wasn’t fully explored by the novels, but was not critical to the story. Those fully obsessed with this universe will be thrilled with this novella, but it won’t fulfill any need for the rest of us.
No spoilers here. If you like the SYFY series "The Expanse", you will love all 5 existing novels in the book series by James S. A. Corey.
Then... While you're waiting for book 6, read all 4 short stories / novellas for intriguing and satisfying back stories of the characters you've grown to like.
Then... Go watch the SyFy Expanse Series season 1 and notice things that flew silently under the radar the first time.
Excellent multi-layered experience.
Highly recommended.
This is my favorite of the short stories in the Expanse universe. It is both a fascinating story of what happened to the scientists in the first book and an incredibly disturbing, detailed, and sympathetic look at the amoral sociopathy that is involved. It manages to make the main character sympathetic despite their absurdly horrible ways, and you can't help but root for them despite them being almost purely evil. It's a great story of humans in an inhuman world.
No one need praise the growing body of work that encompasses the expanse universe, the authors have ensured themselves a place among the greatest of SciFi writers. However, The Vital Abyss deserves special attention for the stunning quality of the writing, character development and a carfully unfolding plot that is works as a stand alone story while holding special suprises and insights for readers of the entire series. There are several pages I read my young son (age 10) and my freshman daughter- I read them as an example of what it sounds like to hear A masterwork of character development.
I won't say that this isn't well written, and if you're hungry for more of this universe and have read the others, this may be a lot more interesting. Cortazar, one of the many scientists who studied Eros as it lay dying, isn't really that interesting a character for me to want to spend that much time with.
Collected by the Belters during the raid, along with other survivors, the group is kept in isolation and given no information on how things are unfolding through the years of their incarceration. Which, while reading, didn't make any sense to me. Yes, they killed a whole station for study, like lab rats, so that the Belters left any of them alive is a miracle in itself. But the Belters had the station, they had what was left of the records, and you'd think that the scientists would have been fed various bits and pieces of their own research to them so that the Belters could come away with some knowledge of what was going on, what had been done, and use it to their own advantage.
They may have been monsters, but their knowledge had a huge amount of value. I just couldn't see letting them live, yet letting all their knowledge slip away through the years by inactivity and disuse. It also didn't make sense that they'd throw in a bit of tech and let the prisoners slug it out, so to speak, for it, just to see who came out on top?
They'd know who did what. The prisoners themselves could tell them that. They'd know who could unravel what was going on, and who couldn't. Who was worth a trade, and who wasn't. Tossing in a scrap and letting them fight for it made no sense.
So, really, none of this worked for me.
As a young man, Dr. Cortazar watched his mother slowly die from Huntington's disease. After his death he went to the university and studied nanoinformatics. These studies led him to a position with Protogen where he worked with a group doing research on the protomolecule. Because of treatments given by Protogen, the employees he worked with did not see it as immoral or unethical to do research on humans. And their choice to do human testing led them to Eros.
This novella fills in more pieces about how Protogen came to have the protomolecule, what led up to the infection of Eros and what happened to some of the people responsible.
This is a must read for anyone following the Expanse series. For those that have not, I highly recommend the series.
