Welcome to the Mercy of Pods, a podcast that is normally about The Captive's War by James S.A. Corey, but today we are finishing our coverage of the second book from main Expanse narrative with the last set of chapters of CALIBAN'S WAR, also by James S.A. Corey. This episode is spoilers for the entire Expansiverse!   

In this episode:

  • James Holden for the first and surely final time does something insanely stupid and heroic, and gets away with it!
  • Bobbie faces her demons, the Creature, and experiences some truly disgusting body horror.
  • Prax finally finds Dr. Strickland and Amos decides he should maybe do something about some of this.
  • Chrisjen Avasarala gets an unwelcome promotion and has a very welcome little convo with Jules Pierre Mao.
  • Naomi finds out that Jim's parents are racist and we maybe learn why they decided not to have kids.
  • Clint talks about problem solving and shooting first.
  • Brigid details how Caliban's War is about mourning, loss, and the end of history. 
  • It's MILLER TIME BABYEEE
