The Epilogue for Rocinante was initially posted posted only on the Beyond the Far Horizon web site. This was discussed in the forum. Here is Wes's response from Nov. 18, 2008:

"Frankly, I slipped up when I sent it to BtfH but it wasn't important enough to worry about. The main reason I didn't post it was that it contained a couple of spoilers, and a couple things where the timeline wasn't as it worked out in later stories."

Due to numerous inquiries from readers, Wes posted the Epilogue on his web site on June 4, 2009 in the Shorts, Outtakes, and Rants section.
