    About this audiobook

    From New York Times bestselling author James S.A. Corey...

    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.
    Set in the hard-scrabble solar system of the Expanse, Gods of Risk deepens James S. A. Corey's acclaimed series.

    • 4/5
      This novella gives us a great view into GySgt Bobbie Draper, one of my favorite Expanse characters, and her life at home on Mars following the events described in Caliban's War.
    • 4/5
      When I originally discovered it on Amazon (after reading Caliban's War and deciding that everything and anything in this series should be pre-ordered ASAP), it was pre-ordered, and for some reason, I thought it was show in December. I was rather surprised to get the email that it'd been delivered this month instead, so who knows? I added it to my growing pile of 2012 TBR books, and read it at first opportunity because it'd provide a nice break from the fantasy I'd been reading.I didn't take notes. Actually, I take that back, I took two. The first has to do with Bobbie's actions at the climax of the story, and the other has to do with the sample they say is for book three, Abaddon's Gate but is actually the opening chapter for Caliban's War. Ooops?At any rate, the novella is a relatively quick read, focusing on Bobbie's nephew after the events of Caliban's War. She's living with the family, and it's rather cramping David's lifestyle, because David cooks up drugs for a rather notorious drug lord on Mars. It's a rather odd set up at first, because I carried certain assumptions into the story about what kind of person would make drugs, and David defies all of those assumptions. He's smart, gifted, not greedy for cash. So that makes an interesting tension between the life David has and the one that the drugs pull him into. Bobbie's a side character, and still utterly compelling. Also compelling is seeing conditions on Mars first-hand. Things aren't so peachy after the events of the first two books, and it's showing.While I can't say this is a story that will mean much to the uninitiated Expanse reader, it still stands alone with a beginning, middle, and end. Fans of the series will be interesting in learning what Bobbie does next, of course, and also getting a solid peak at Mars. Beyond that, what is there to say? I'm just looking forward to the third book, Abaddon's Gate!
    • 3/5
      Weakest in the series so far unless it was just to illustrate the drudgery of life on Mars, which I guess it might have been? All that rebellion has to come from somewhere. But it was a slog to get through and I really didn’t care about David.
    • 3/5
      Ok coming of age story, but not really about Bobby.
    • 3/5
      I was hoping for more about Roberta Draper than her boring, antisocial nephew.
    • 4/5
      A fun little side trip in the Expanse universe, with Bobby showing up to flex her muscles as a secondary character.

      Totally not necessary to read for the greater series, but enjoyable, nonetheless.
    • 5/5
      This story gives you an insight into Bobby Draper's life after she has been discharged from the Martian Marines. The story centers on Bobby's nephew David Draper. David's life stands at a cross roads. The choices he makes will affect his life and the lives of others close to him.

      The story is a stand alone novella. I make a great end of the summer read. There are no great revelations to add to the Expanse universe. I does however gives you insight to the forces that shaped Bobby Draper.

    • 3/5
      3.5/5 stars. A coming of age tale featuring Bobbie Draper's nephew. It was sweet, and Bobbie was wise and strong, and I liked it.

      (I especially liked it because there was no condemnation of Leelee for anything she'd done. Survival matters, shame does not.)
    • 4/5
      A solid little side story told from a young adult POV. It doesn't shy away from the hardships and ugly truths of being a kid in an uncertain world. It reminded me quite a bit of my teenage years growing up in a small town, with nothing to do but get into all sorts of trouble.
    • 3/5
      It was nice to meet Bobbie Draper again. Even in a short story like this.
    • 4/5
      A short novella set between books two and three of The Expanse series. The main character is David Draper, nephew of Roberta “Bobbie” Draper, the Martian Marine introduced in the previous volume of the series. David is studying bio-chemistry in school and has gotten himself in a bit of a situation with a local lowlife for whom he “cooks” drugs. His aunt Bobbie is mostly a frustration and interference for him, but her situation with being at loose ends following her dismissal from both her previous jobs has a sort of parallel to his life and what he learns from her could end up being useful to her.The background characters and events that are not central to David’s story are obviously included to set up and garner interest in the next volume in the series.The character development for both David and Bobbie is compelling, as well as the information this short tale manages to convey about the structure (both physical/geographical and cultural) of the human settlement on Mars.
