The mini-series – due for release as as a collection in September – is set between the fourth and fifth seasons of the Amazon Prime Video hit SF drama.
Chrisjen Avasarala, the former longtime Secretary-General of the United Nations, has found herself relegated to Luna after losing the latest elections… and she doesn’t plan on going down without a fight. So when Bobbie Draper – a former Martian marine – brings her intel on an intergalactic black market weapons ring, Avasarala sees a chance to reclaim her former political position of power through a clandestine operation.
But as Draper digs deeper into this secret cabal, she soon realises the threat they pose is far larger – and closer to home – than either of them ever imagined…
In the final issue of the mini-series,, Bobbie and Avasarala make their move in the battle to save humanity, but any victory may come with a cost neither of them is ready to pay…
