Somewhere in the vast expanse of space, a group of prisoners lives in permanent captivity.

The only company they have is each other and the Belters who guard them. The only stories they know are the triumphs and crimes that brought them there. The only future they see is an empty life in an enormous room.

And then the man from Mars came along . . .

Review of 'The Vital Abyss' on 'Goodreads'

Ehhh, it was OK. I'm somewhat disappointed to find out that the evil protomolecule scientists are not plain old amoral, they have been chemically "enhanced" to specifically be amoral. For me this is a much less interesting twist than trying to explain the amorality of actual humans.
