The Last Flight of the Cassandra (The Expanse #8.1)

This short story was published with part of The Expanse Roleplaying Game Rule book is not part of The Expanse Cannon. Instead, it is a story that takes place concurrently with the beginning of [b:Leviathan Wakes|8855321|Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse, #1)|James S.A. Corey|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1411013134l/8855321._SY75_.jpg|13730452], ends in a cliff hanger, and sets up a good RPG story line. (Never played one)

I enjoyed the story very much. Before I knew this was for an RPG game, I was excited for where this story might go. It goes nowhere.

This story occurs immediately after Holden makes his announcement that the ice hauler was destroyed and a piece of tech with a Mars stamp on it was discovered.

The Cassandra is flying hand to mouth already and they realise that with the coming price fluctuations they won't be able to continue flying.   So they go off to an asteroid in a last attempt at turning a profit: finding something that could change everything for them.

A good little story that i would suggest reading as soon as the Holden announcement goes out, or, you could wait until the end of Leviathon Wakes and read it then.
