They get picked up by the big martian ship and it's big and martian
it's largely uneventful, everyone is behaving themselves and getting along
Holden gets interviewed by an intelligence guy and it's largely good times
The most interesting thing was finding out Holden was raised by a wierd hive family with a bunch of moms and dads
Then there's missles getting launched and we feel like the next thing we're gonna hear is that the six ships that were following them have been turned into dust and they're sending out space vacumes to pick up the spare parts. BUT NO!!! There's sirens and stuff and Holden is escorted back to the room where everyone else from the shuttle is hanging out. The other ships are returning fire.
Something happens to Shed. Who's Shed? Shed's dead baby shed's dead.
Chapter 12 Miller page 123
Miller wants to go after Julie Mao even though his boss has told him not to bother. He tells his earther partner to cover for him for a few days. Say he had a run in with his ex and now he's on a bender. Better to be seen as a screw around than a try hard. He talks to her taekwondo instructor and doesn't get a lot of useful info, but mr. taekwondo says he'll ask around and tell Miller what he finds. The guy from the OPA comes to visit Miller. Tells him to stop looking for Julie, tells him she was on the Sculopi and that the OPA is looking for her and they need to be the one to find her, not Miller. Miller tells him to take a hike. Miller calls his Earther partner and tells him it's time for a vacation.
Chapter 13 Holden page 134
The ship is under attack like crazy. They plug the holes in the wall and start coming up with ideas with what to do. Some Martian marines show up with space suits for them to put on so they can escape. They're gonna make their way to the hanger and get on a smaller ship and GTFO. There's all sorts of gun shooting. We're left with a bit of a cliff hanger as they jump toward the ship and then the head martian marine get smoked.
Chapter 14 Miller page 144
There's all sorts of shenhanegans that are pointing towards war. Martian on Ceres as killed. A ship out of Ceres was destroyed by the Martian Navy. Everyone every where is unhappy about things. Once again Miller is told to stop looking for Julie Mao. First by his boss, then his new partner, then the OPA guy that comes to visit again. The OPA guy has an honest to goodness book. Good for him. As Yous are all well aware, I am a fan of having a physical book. I have five tablets I could read books on, but I always read a physical book. This apocalypse is probably gonna change that cause all the libraries are closed down. But I digress. Miller tells the OPA guy he'll stop looking for Julie. Then the second the OPA guy leaves, Miller calls Julie's dad.
Chapter 15 Holden page 153
This chapter is kinda like that Korean movie Infernal affairs. Everybody dies. More specifically, all the Martian marines die. When we get through all the bullets and grenades and whatnot Holden is still alive and so is Naomi and so is Alex. Amos is the name of the guy in the group that dies. LEGITIMATE SALVAGE!!!! They call Fred Johnson, yes THE, and he sends them a way to have the Martian ship send out signals like it's not a stolen Martian ship. Also he tells them where to go to have a place to go and not get murdered super bad.
Chapter 16 miller page 163
Miller is told to drop the Julie case by the captain and the OPA guy again. The difference now is that they're doing it together in the same room at the same time. Miller goes to talk to his partner about it. She tells him this story about how in her old squad there was this one guy that sucked super bad and they gave him all the cases they didn't want solved. Takes Miller a second to realize he's that guy. Now he's super sad about it and he ends up super drunk. He misses Julie.
Chapter 17 holden page 173
No plot here. They pleasantly make the trip to meet Fred Johnson. Yes, THE Fred Johnson. He says "call me Fred" there's food on the ride. Flat bread and hummus and coffee. Everyone is clean and they have space suits and guns and for just this one Chapter things seem OK. There's all those dead martians, but that was chapter fifteen's problems. Chapter 17 is all about feeling good for a bit.
Chapter 18 miller page 183
Miller's screwing up every more than normal now that he's aware that he's a screwup. But he sobers up and gets to work. He gets to arrest a rapist and that's nice. He's concocting a scheme to figure out where the OPA has Holden. Big bad news happens. Earth is pulling out of Ceres. But the cops are still cops and the chief expects everyone to do their jobs. Guess who's not gonna do that job anymore? Miller, he's been Jamesed. Fired, I'm saying Jamesed instead of fired. It probably won't last long.
Chapter 19 holden page 193
I love how every chapter is ten pages long. They come onto the station in space suits with guns to show they're not fucking around. Most of this chapter is them talking to Fred. Fred's story/plan is convincing enough that they decide to stay. The common goal here is that even though there's currently a war between Mars and the Belt, to track down the individuals that destroyed the two ships who's names I can't remember. One of them was the Cant-somthing and the other one definitely started with an S. It was like Scoliosis or something. Anyway, if we can find the people that blew up those ships and put them on trial that will put an end to the war. The four remaining members of the Cant get up to some shenhannegans on the station. Holden decides to go sleep on the Martian ship.
Chapter 20 Miller page 203
Here I'm saying every chapter is 10 pages and this one is only 9. Miller's hanging out being unemployed and trying to do the best he can with his very limited resources to keep investigating where Holden and Julie Mao might be. He's looking at ships manafests and decides it's a ship that docked at Tycho, so he's gonna go to Tycho. He's bought a ticket and everything. But then he gets a call from his old earther partner telling him that ship he thought was HOlden's ship has put in a course for some other station. Is he gonna get on the ship to Tycho or not? Find out next time, on the exiting adventures of former detective Miller.
Chapter 21 holden page 212
Amos has been drinking and what not for a few days. He comes back to their place and says he never wants to drink again. They eat some sushi and then Holden starts talking about wanting to do something with his life and not just waiting around for two years while Fred tries to figure out who blew up the Canterbury and bring them to justice. His idea is that they use their martian war ship to do some jobs and make some money of their own. Everyone's in agreement that this is a good idea. Enter Fred, he wants to borrow their ship to do do something on Eros. Holden's counter offer is that they go to Eros and do whatever it is Fred needs done. Fred is eventually amenable to this.
Chapter 22 miller page 223
Miller decided to go to Eros to chase after Holden's ship the Rocinante. He talks to a missionary about going from Ceres to Eros and in the midst of that conversation decides he's left Ceres for good. He gets to Eros before the Rocinante and so he's got some time to kill. He ends up bumping into a cop he worked once when a smuggler he was trying to catch left Ceres for Eros and so some interdepartmental cooperating needed to happen to catch the bad guy. They talk shop. Miller sets up shop in the casino because he knows that regardless of where they park, the crew of the Rocinante is going to have to come through here. If he's right, he should recognize holden.
