A note for parents

Gods of Risk is a novella set in The Expanse universe featuring a 16-year-old protagonist involved in drug manufacturing and confronting dangerous criminals. The story contains moderate violence, mature themes around substance manufacturing and dealing, and adult language befitting the hard science fiction setting. While it explores themes of loyalty and sacrifice, the dark subject matter and criminal elements make it better suited for older teen readers familiar with or ready for grittier sci-fi.
