Nice novella addition to Expanse series

Nice Novella giving bigger view of Expanse universe. Would of course loved to see entire book that pulled in these characters ( other than Duarte who IS in the series ). I really enjoyed this and happy I bought it; got much more out of this than Vital Abyss.

Great Read

What a fantastic read this short story was but what a terrible ending nothing was resolved mysteries were granted and nothing was finished

And then, what?

Holy cow THAT went in a strange direction.... Someday I hope we hear more about the "dogs" and the "stick moons" because that planet is gonna shake things up.

Very Fun and Interesting

This story takes place on a world outside of Sol. The Mars Military or what was their Military are in charge. Then a child finds some Dogs. I highly recommend.

My favorite novella

emotional, intriguing, pulled me right in and left me on the edge of my seat.

Perfect Novella!

With Strange Dogs author James Corey adeptly adds to his acclaimed Expanse series by introducing us to the world of Laconia...a planet very much like Earth...but different. Corey let's us experience Laconia through the senses of an adolescent human girl named Cara. She sees the alien planet through the eyes of a child for whom it is the only home she has known. Corey evokes wonderous and magical imagery reminiscent of Juliet Andromeda Mao as she became Eros in his inaugural Expanse novel. He seems to be asking, what humans can become when we venture beyond our terrestrial home...when WE become extraterrestrial? Voice talents are beautifully handled by Jefferson Mays. Strange Dogs satisfies on every level! Perfect.

Great perspective

Refreshing to see this world through the eyes of a human child that knows nothing else.

Different...

Fans of the mainline Expanse books know the novellas fill in interesting aspects of the story. This one is a different style. While the content fits the Expanse universe the story is essentially a YA plot. It's a bit dark -- call it PG-13 for violence, adult language, and adult themes. We'll see how (if) it fits in the big picture when the next Expanse novel comes out later this year.

Important after Babylon, but not Wow

You definitely have to read this after Babylon to understand what's happening on Laconia, but I wasn't crazy about the story.

Fun! imaginative. foreboding.

it really piqued my curiosity for the coming stories. I will definitely listen to it again.
