Book Beginnings and The Friday 56 - June 26, 2015

I'm linking up with Rose City Reader for Book Beginnings and Freda's Voice for Page 56. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Pick the closest book on your book stack and join the fun.

The Beginning:

"A year after the Callisto attacks, almost three years after he and his crew had headed out for Ilus, and about six days after they'd gotten back, James Holden floated next to his ship and watched a demolition mech cut her apart."

Page 56:

"Naomi sipped at her tea, buying time. Not a good sign, because it meant this was something she wasn't sure how to talk about."

From Nemesis Games by James S.A. Corey. This is book five of The Expanse series. I have followed from book one, Leviathan Wakes. It is pure Space Opera and fun to read. Nemesis Games is almost like a place holder. It does not go anywhere. It just sets up the next book in the series while filling in the back-story for Naomi, Alex and Amos, the other three main characters in the series. A nice book for series fans. Also nice to see less of James Holder and more of his crew.
