About This Book
Before humanity spread across the solar system, someone had to make it possible. Drive tells the story of Solomon Epstein and the moment of accidental genius that changed everything — a single test flight that goes further than anyone imagined, and threatens to cost Epstein everything he loves. It's a story about ambition, luck, and the terrifying gap between what we invent and what we can control. In thirty pages, Corey packs in more tension and emotional weight than most novels manage in three hundred.
What's remarkable here is how efficiently the writing works. There's no fat, no setup for its own sake — every scene earns its place, and the stakes feel personal before they feel cosmic. Corey (the pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) excels at grounding grand science-fictional ideas in immediate, human consequence, and that instinct is on full display. Readers already inside The Expanse will feel the gravitational pull of dramatic irony; newcomers get a clean, propulsive story that stands on its own. Either way, it's a masterclass in short-form science fiction.
