The Butcher of Anderson Station

The Butcher of Anderson Station is a short story that expands the world of James S. A. Corey's New York Times bestselling Expanse series - now a Prime Original TV series. One day, Colonel Fred Johnson will be hailed as a hero to the system. One day, he will meet a desperate man in possession of a stolen spaceship and a deadly secret and extend a hand of friendship. But long before he became the leader of the Outer Planets Alliance, Fred Johnson had a very different name. The Butcher of Anderson Station. This is his story.

Similarly to the churn, this story serves as an exposé on an individual, providing important character development.

Well, it was nice to know what actually happened on Anderson station. Quite an interesting novella, especially if you maybe liked Fred as a character.

Great short piece giving the backstory behind Fred Johnson and his first meeting with Anderson Dawes. I would have liked a little more detail, but I liked it!
