    By Prairie_Dog
    The Sins of Our Fathers Is a novella considered # 9.5 in the Expanse Series by “James S. A. Corey.” This novella is set after the conclusion of the main storyline in the novel “Leviathan Falls.” This novella is set on the planet Jannah, which has two corporate settlements Alpha and Beta. The story is set in the smaller of these settlements, Beta. Our protagonist is surprisingly Filip Nagata, who left the narrative long ago. He’s been lying low, and trying to escape his past. So he ended up here on a frontier world. Beta has an unexpected problem though, it seems it is on a migration pathway for a species of local megafauna. These monsters are likely to destroy Beta just by stomping through it on their way. The community has to decide what to do about this problem. Unfortunately, there are human monsters in the community as well. Filip is all too familiar with monsters like these. This novella is an interesting side story in the Expanse Universe, but it isn’t strictly necessary to the main storyline. It does close the loose end presented by Filip’s previous escape from the demise of the Free Navy, and offers him a limited form of redemption. I think it’s a good read for Expanse fans, and maybe the final installment in this particular storyline.
