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 continuing our coverage of the main Expanse narrative with chapters 43 through 49 of LEVIATHAN WAKES, also by James S.A. Corey. This episode is spoilers for the entire Expansiverse!

In this episode:

• Holden is cranky at Miller for being cool.
• Miller is down apocalyptic over the loss of his job, crew, life, and most of all the love of his life (and death).
• We get our one and ONLY sex chapter in the entire books, and a wild boner appears, but little else.
• The Gang comes up with a plan to knock Eros into the sun, which takes some exciting twists and turns!
• Clint psychoanalyzes what Holden's polyamorist upbringing did to his brain and heart.
• Brigid goes linguist on lang belta and breaks down other fun stories about suicidal ideation.
• We talk about the rules of Golgo and shout out America's finest jurist, Judy Sheindlin.
• Julie begins her trip home.

Join us next time when we cover the seventh and final part of LEVIATHAN WAKES, where everything turns out just fine.
