Tycho and Tycho station always puzzles me a little.
I'm only half way through book 2.

Here are some points of confusion:

1. Tycho is a corporation that does not really behave like any real-world corporation we know of. Under no circumstances would any large corporation in our world today jeopardize their business to save people.
2. How is illegally commandeering the Nauvoo, even if to save the world, not business suicide? How will another party with deep pockets ever trust Tycho to not use their money in another such venture?
3. Tycho is Earth based, right? Then what's with the love for the OPA. What other large corporation acts that way in our world today? Throwing clear support towards a very controversial militia group. Basically, space Hamas.
4. How did a colonel transition from being colonel to heading an engineering station? This one is actually not that big of a problem for me. People do have multiple skillsets and it is concievable that he is just a very talented guy.
5. How can mormons have no recourse against Tycho?

One thing that I've really enjoyed while reading the books is how Holden isn't the only protagonist.

I'm only in book 2. But the show felt, like all film media does, to be very focused on Holden as the main character of the story.

In the books, he seems like a cog in a larger universe. Stories running in parallel that intersect. In book 1, of course, Miller is the clear other protagonist, and in book 2, Avasarla is the other protagonist.

That's why I am really enjoying the read because multiple perspectives make the world seem so much bigger. Which is essential when you have a story that spans interstellar space
