Resumen del Editor

A novella set in the hard-scrabble world of James S. A. Corey's New York Times best-selling Expanse series, The Churn takes the best-selling sci-fi series to the dark world of organized crime, drugs, secrets, and murder that shaped the Rocinante's mechanic, Amos. Now a Prime Original series.

Hugo Award Winner for Best Series

Before his trip to the stars, before the Rocinante, Timmy was confined to a Baltimore where crime paid you or killed you. Unless the authorities got to you first.

On a future Earth beset by overpopulation, pollution, and poverty, people do what they must to survive. The Churn follows a crime boss named Burton as his organization is threatened by a new private security force tasked with cleaning up the city. When the police start cracking down, Burton and his foot soldiers - loyal lieutenant Erich, former prostitute Lydia, and young enforcer Timmy - become increasingly desperate to find a way out.

For the love of Amos!

I really loved getting more insight into Amos's background! All of the Expanse characters are interesting, but there was something about Amos that just made me want to know more; especially about his life prior to the Cant. This was a brief look at his life on Earth in Baltimore. I would love if there was a short about his time with Naomi and how that loyalty bond formed.

a little more flesh on Amos

If you're a fan of the books Amos is probably one of your favorite characters. Well there isn't that much more detailed about how he became who he is, there is a whole lot about how it's not about how society of Earth works.

If you're a fan of the series you're definitely going to enjoy it.

Jefferson Mays!!!

Love Amos and grateful this book was rerecorded with Mr. Mays, as his voice is the Amos I've grown accustomed to.

Everything I Could Ask

A great origin story for my favorite character of the series, but of course I'd say he deserved a full length tale. My one and only gripe besides, a minor one, is that the narrator fails to meet the intended tone the author had in mind (as far as I can tell) maybe once or twice. Overall, an excellent story worth more than it costs. This is a solid buy.

Good insight

Very well elaborates on the back story with plenty of good bits and pieces and fils in some gaps but also leave you wanting more

Amos Burton

Great story about a mysterious character of the Expanse!…and of course Jefferson was brilliant!

Love this whole series!

I love this entire series! Wish I could find more like it. Really well written and completely engrossing. If you liked Amos and want to know more of his story - here it is in all it's messed up glory.

The Churn

A wonderful tale exquisitely told. I wish that I had discovered this artist sooner. Delicious

Short but Sweet

If you’re a big fan of the Expanse novels, especially certain characters in those novels you’ll very much enjoy this short story. The ending was very satisfying and helped set up a major character. Highly recommend if you’ve read or plan on reading the Expanse novels happy reading everyone!

Amos!

I loved learning Amos's back story. He is one of my favorite characters in the series.
