Our view
“Trouble on Paradise” fills in what happened to the soldiers stranded on Paradise in a brief “Expeditionary Force” interlude. Craig Alanson shifts the focus from the starship’s crew to Major Emily Perkins’s team, and some readers welcome the change of company. Others see it as cut material padded into a novella and miss what they enjoy in the main series. At under a hundred pages, it sits between the third and fourth books.
