I was talking about not having a book in the last entry - I wonder if the local library might have it. The library here is about two blocks away and I'm ashamed to say I've never set foot in it. I did poke around on the website a while back, though. But I think they're closed right now anyway.
I have a new Expanse theory, or, well, I have a couple of things that my brain is wanting to string together, anyway. I noticed that at some point Avasarala says that Alex has a kid on Mars he doesn't know about. Then I don't think it's ever referred to directly again. It could have been an affair or something from when he was younger - but what if it was his wife? He left suddenly to go fly for PurNKleen (however they spell it!) - if she found out later that she was pregnant, it sort of makes sense that she might not tell him. It would explain why she's so hostile when he turns up much later (or it could just be because he dumped her in the first place!). But if there's a kid, maybe she's afraid they might want to go flying off with dad.
I also keep thinking Naomi's not-dead son might pop up at some point.
The whole thing about dropping big rocks on Earth just breaks my brain. I've read this book half-a-dozen times, probably, but it still blows my mind.
