This chapter is dealing almost exclusively with the explosion the rumor Miles was so afraid of; that he somehow orchestrated Tien's death because he was fixated on getting Ekaterin for himself. It sucks because the story fits so well, and I can completely understand why people believe it. Ugh. 
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!

I'm excited to start this series, and I'm surprised after covering these first chapters to find out how old this series is! I had no idea! So far I'm very invested, though, and I'm really looking forward to finding out more about this universe and also to finding out how they get off this rock.

In these chapters, I get such a delightful and unexpected surprise in that Tien is already killed by someone! It's by his own stupidity really, not even really the fault of the people who abducted and tied him up, which is just really the cherry on top.

We're starting the next book, and we're getting a new POV! I'm excited because I love the direction this seems to be going based on tropes and assumptions on my part...but I'm wondering if this woman is going to end up with Miles at the end of the book. And personally I'm here for it! Other stuff definitely happens too, but mostly this is my focus.

This is a section that makes me frustrated, but not quite as frustrated as the next one, which you shall be seeing for yourself shortly. All we need to know at this time is that Ilyan was targeted by someone, and they nearly got the job done without a trace. Who could it be?

These chapters are the ones where Miles orders the doctors to remove the chip from Ilyan's brain, and so far it all seems to be going pretty well...other than his obvious confusion and frustration. Similarly, Miles is having trouble adjusting his own expectations of his life.

These chapters are the ones in which Miles watches Gregor fall in love, and then turns 30 and begins getting very introspective. He's starting to suspect he's lost sight of some things he'd claimed were key priorities for him, and decides to reconnect with them. I'm very interested to see where this is going!

This final section is about the incredible undertaking of breaking ten thousand people out of jail...in space.

 It's time to begin the final story in the triology of novellas, and this one is likely to be the grimmest yet in terms of the fallout, based on what we see in the future. I'm really l wondering how things are going to shake out from here because it seems like Miles has so little to work with.
