Livesuit by James S.A. Corey

Not a Book Report

I enjoy reflecting on the movies, TV, books and other media that I consume. I’m notoriously sentimental. This series documents the books that I read. These aren’t reviews or recommendations. Just a list. For me. Mostly so that I can page through what I read, where I was, and when.

Why did I read it?

James SA Corey is the author (team) behind The Expanse and a newer series, The Captive’s War. I read the first book in The Captive’s War, The Mercy of Gods, a few months ago and picked up this side novella just to make sure I was not missing anything in the canon.

I debated including this in my list because it is, technically, a “novella.”

What is it?

Publisher Summary

Humanity’s war is eternal, spread across the galaxy and the ages. Humanity’s best hope to end the endless slaughter is the Livesuit forces. Soldiers meld their bodies to the bleeding edge technology, becoming something more than human for the duration of a war that might never end.

Notes - No Spoilers

• Whew, fast but tough read. Fun short story.
• Not sure if it makes the first full novel in the series make more or less sense, but I’m intrigued.
