Summary

An action-packed novella from New York Times best-selling science-fiction author James S. A. Corey, set in the world of his Hugo-nominated Expanse series - now a major TV series.

Like many before them, Cara and her family ventured through the gates as scientists and researchers, driven to carve out a new life and uncover the endless possibilities of the unexplored alien worlds now within reach.

But soon the soldiers followed - and under this new order, Cara makes a discovery that will change everything.

Interesting short story

A nice short Expanse extension. Didn't really know what to expect but glad I listened to it. A tiny look in to life on one of the Laconia worlds before the next main novel, Persepolis Rising.

The narrator was brilliant as always and kept me engaged in the novel. 4 stars.

What Happened On Lacona

Ever wondered what happened on Lacona? Well now you can find out in Strange Dogs.

I found Strange Dogs to be a great listen though a smidge short to be called a novella, a longish short story maybe (I know it looks weird to me too). The story of one little girl and her experiences with death are well written and, as always, well read. I can't really give any details of the story except to say it occurs durIng Nemesis Games or Babylon's Ashes on the colony planet of Lacona

Wondrous and chilling and great!

Absolutely loved it. It carries wonder and cruelty of a fairy tale. Surprisingly tense and packed with content for such a short story.

OK

it was alright, could have been bit longer and flesh out more. i know they don't want to give too much away with the new book coming out but it did feel like it was missing something Compared to the other novellas

loved it

I have finally reached where the tv series gets to and I've loved it, weirdly one of my favourite books in the series.

Not the next book in the series!

Very annoyed as this was on the book series list as the next book but its just a novella, a very short one. Audible should not have you waste a month's token on a short story. Have to wait now to listen to the next book.

Expanse Seies

The Expanse has become my favourite sci fi story. The style is excellent as but the shear depth of the story is excellent.

Interesting, but ends abruptly.

This is more like a Stephen King slow burn horror than an Expanse story. However, it's interesting and well-written.

I have only given four stars just because it ends abruptly with no resolution, and only having the child's viewpoint doesn't put events into perspective.

Having said that, the child's obsessive focus and self-absorbed behaviour is genuinely shocking. I hope that the authors come back to 'finish' this at some point.

Not the best Expanse work.

Far too many echoes of Stephen King's Pet Sematary. May be a precursor of something more to come.
