Worked through books 5 & 6 of The Expanse series. Previous books mostly had James Holden's point of view. Book 5 had the crew going on separate journeys, and gave the back story to all of them. Worth going past the lame book 4.
Book 6 is part 2 of book 5. Not as strong as book 5, still decent.
Wikipedia says the series jumps ahead 20 years and gets new main characters, so I'm not sure if I'll keep going. The books tend to be needlessly over-long.
