Publisher Description
With over 10 million copies sold, The Expanse has become one of the biggest science fiction phenomenons of the decade.
The fourth book in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series, Cibola Burn sees the crew of the Rocinante on a new frontier, as the rush to colonize the new planets threatens to outrun law and order and give way to war and chaos. Now a Prime Original series.
Enter a new frontier ...
"An empty apartment, a missing family, that's creepy. But this is like finding a military base with no one on it. Fighters and tanks idling on the runway with no drivers. This is bad juju. Something wrong happened here. What you should do is tell everyone to leave."
The gates have opened the way to a thousand new worlds and the rush to colonize has begun. Settlers looking for a new life stream out from humanity's home planets. Ilus, the first human colony on this vast new frontier, is being born in blood and fire. Independent settlers stand against the overwhelming power of a corporate colony ship with only their determination, courage, and the skills learned in the long wars of home. Innocent scientists are slaughtered as they try to survey a new and alien world. The struggle on Ilus threatens to spread all the way back to Earth.
James Holden and the crew of his one small ship are sent to make peace in the midst of war and sense in the midst of chaos. But the more he looks at it, the more Holden thinks the mission was meant to fail. And the whispers of a dead man remind him that the great galactic civilization that once stood on this land is gone. And that something killed it.
"Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written." —George R. R. Martin

Customer Reviews
Fantastic!
Really fun story to read! Once again the cast of characters was great, I really enjoyed reuniting with Havelock and I appreciated Alex having a bigger role in this story as well now I feel as though I really know the entire crew really well!
A bit of a let down
I want to know more, but this book is too much of a teaser.... who created the protomolecule and who killed them, this book does not answer, it teases! Yet I’m ready for the next
Don’t read the reviews, just read the book!
I’ve seen so many bad reviews on this book and I don’t think they’re justified. This is certainly not the strongest entry in the series, but nevertheless, this is a great book and a needed tie from book 3 to book 5. Lots of tension building up to the finale. Great ending making the book worthwhile. Very enjoyable.
