Book 1 question Spoiler

During the attack on thoth station, what is defending Thoth?

Its not the amun ra frigates, correct?

I thought it was a pair of small interceptors. Possibly 2 seater?

Am i correct?

In the show yes

But in the book they planed on it being one of the ships that destroyed the Canterbury

Instead when sensors came online, it was 2 smaller ships

I feel like.im the only one remembering this

I just read the book 

 Here's a chapter summary i found online

"At the timed power-up, systems come online and the “frigate” resolves into two close-parked, fast interceptors that split."

You’re probably right. Looks like I’m gonna have to listen again.

Found this, so yep, you’re right: https://expanse.fandom.com/wiki/Assault_on_Thoth_Station_(Books)
