By: James S. A. Corey

A novella set in the hard-scrabble world of James S. A. Corey's NYT-bestselling Expanse series, Gods of Risk tells the story of Bobbie Draper following the events of Caliban's War.

HUGO AWARD WINNER FOR BEST SERIES

As tension between Mars and Earth mounts, and terrorism plagues the Martian city of Londres Nova, sixteen-year-old David Draper is fighting his own lonely war. A gifted chemist vying for a place at the university, David leads a secret life as a manufacturer for a ruthless drug dealer. When his friend Leelee goes missing, leaving signs of the dealer's involvement, David takes it upon himself to save her. But first he must shake his aunt Bobbie Draper, an ex-marine who has been set adrift in her own life after a mysterious series of events nobody is talking about.

Short but good story

I don't know why the show decided to change this so much. This story was good enough, the tale of a boy trying to come to terms with becoming a man, the struggle, the awkward boners during inappropriate times... God I felt a lot of this. it was a good representation of a dude growing up not realizing how small actions can cause large consequences. it's a good story.

Enjoyable sideshow to the Expanse

Think of this as a side quest story to The Expanse main storyline. Very enjoyable but doesn’t mean much for the rest of the story. Would recommend for fans of the series.

A decent side story but not necessary to the main plot of the series

It was a quick background on the Draper family and the mars society but Bobbie is not the main focus of the story

The subtle elegant beauty of the psychology

Another great story, and I love how the characters are so deep and believable, how they evolve.

Someone forgot Bobbie’s accent

The only thing I did not like in this audiobook was Jefferson Mayes performance of Bobbie Draper. In Caliban’s War his performance of Bobbie had a healthy amount of southern drawl to her accent. In this performance there is barely a hint and it really breaks the fantasy setting.
