PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Corey (a joint pseudonym for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) continues the bestselling Expanse space opera series (following Cibola Burn) with a standout tale of violence, intrigue, ambition, and hope. A diaspora of humans seeking wealth and adventure is on the move from Earth to the asteroid belt and the outer planets and moons of the solar system. With three governments in the solar system Earth; the asteroid miners, called Belters; and the Outer Planets Alliance disagreements are many and rebellion all too possible. Capt. James Holden and his crew stop at Tycho for ship repair and some well-deserved personal leave, but the universe has other ideas. Colony-bound ships are mysteriously disappearing midflight, and the black market for military equipment from Mars is booming. When rebels suddenly drop asteroids on Earth, killing millions, Holden and his people are once again caught up in deadly events with system-wide consequences. Corey cranks up the tension relentlessly in this fast-paced story of heroes and rebels fighting for freedom. With enough thrills and intrigue for three Hollywood blockbusters, the novel stands alone nicely, making it easy for new readers as well as diehard series fans to dive right in.
Customer Reviews
Favorite in the series so far!!
This book was so awesome! The POV chapters were my favorite so far I love that we got to get into the minds of the crew! Alex and Amos chapters really did not disappoint and I’m very excited about the new crew member as well.
Kind of a dud
This is the 2nd book (now in a row) in this series that I didn’t care for. I appreciate that all the POVs were from the crew which is what I’ve been wanting. Unfortunately the crew are separated from the beginning and I didn’t find any of their stories all that interesting. There is one massive event that takes place that will have major repercussions but this felt like a bunch of short stories that I could’ve done without.
Didn’t understand title significance.
Great book, just disappointed with no resolution regarding Filipo. Maybe I missed that.
