Leviathan Reads
Abaddon's Gate: Chs. 6-10

Holden tries to get his crew as far from the Ring as possible, and do it without attracting attention. He is not good at avoiding danger or publicity, so he ends up heading directly toward the Ring with a documentary crew aboard. Melba, Anna, and Bull also head toward the ring for reasons  respectively evil, philosophical, and loyal.
We are Alice Sullivan, Micah Sparkman, and Jeff Lake.
