An empty apartment, a missing family, that's creepy. But this is like finding a military base with no one on it. Fighters and tanks idling on the runway with no drivers. This is bad juju. Something wrong happened here. What you should do is tell everyone to leave. The gates have opened the way to a thousand new worlds, and the rush to colonize has begun. Settlers looking for a new life stream out from humanity's home planets. Ilus, the first human colony on this vast new frontier, is being born in blood and fire.

An Excellent Expanse Novella
Wow. As a passionate fan of the series, this Expanse novella didn't disappoint. Unlike THE CHURN or GODS of RISK (also recommended for fans of the series), STRANGE DOGS does not fill in backstory for one of the 'all stars' in cast of the Expanse. But it does something that I found very exciting; it takes you to Laconia.
The name of that planet ought to set off alarm bells for anyone familiar with the latter books of the Expanse. Especially as the release of book 7, Persepolis Rising, is right around the corner, I was grateful for this sneak peak at the 'home base' of what has been established as a major hub for the series' new shadow antagonist -Admiral Winston Duarte. Who makes a brief but poignant appearance in Strange Dogs, establishing him as a thoughtfully dimensional 'villain'.
Overall, Strange Dogs is not military in tone though. The story is told from the perspective of a young girl who has never known a home other than Laconia. Imagine following a day in the life of Basia's daughter, from Cibola Burn (book 4), and you start to get the picture. Like Ilus, Laconia is teeming with alien life. And the mysterious machinations of the protomolecule abound. Cara, through whom we experience Laconia, is innocent. And that innocence leads to a truly remarkable confrontation with the extant life forms of Laconia. The awe and terror evoked by that communion with the unknown is quintessential Expanse magic.
If there is anything to complain about here, it's that the novella's arc is somewhat predictable. But sometimes knowing roughly where a strange journey is going to land makes that descent to a final destination all the more intense. Do not expect big answers to the biggest questions asked by The Expanse, but rather anticipate more questions that ought to raise the hair on your neck. I feel more primed than ever for book 7!

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.

The Expanse is way beyond what you'd expect.
I was not expecting the Expanse to become the greatest Sci Fi series I've ever read, watched or listened to. But it is. It is simply: the best. You can't go wrong by downloading the entire series and binging. If this is your first time... I envy you.

Pet Cemetery as it wore on. Completely unrelated to The Expanse series other than taking place on one of the thousand new planets accessible via the gate.

An excellent piece of short science fiction
Strange Dogs, while the universe is the same, is a story extracted from the primary story arch of The Expanse series.
It follows a young girl, and her exploration and discovery of the strange life forms that inhabit the only planet she's ever known.

Jefferson mays saves this novella.
I bought this novella having read the other 2 expanse novellas. I was really disappointed in the story though. I stuck with it even as I was disliking it because J. Mays is such a great performer. However, the story really lacked everything I've loved about the expanse series. The other two Novelas had characters you could relate to from the series. This had new characters, not bad but novellas being short, they could not develop. The ending was just a stop with know completion and it was odd at that. If we discovered some ability of the proto-molecule that may have been a better tie-up.
Still I can't wait for the tv series to start up again and I look forward to more work from these writers.
