Description

The sixth installment in James S. A. Corey's acclaimed Expanse series plunges humanity into chaos as the Free Navy—a ruthless faction of Belter pirates commanding black-market military vessels—cripples Earth and threatens the vulnerable colony ships bound for distant worlds beyond the alien ring gates. With traditional power structures crumbling and no single navy capable of mounting an effective defense, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante find themselves thrust into a desperate mission to reach Medina Station, the critical hub of the gate network, even as fragile new alliances prove as unstable as the old. As piracy, mutiny, and betrayal escalate across the solar system, an enigmatic alien mystery deepens in the shadows, suggesting that the true stakes of this conflict may extend far beyond political power and human survival. Outnumbered and outgunned, Holden and his damaged crew must navigate treacherous political waters and uncover the secrets lurking in the uncanny spaces beyond the ring gates. The choices of a few desperate individuals may ultimately determine the fate of humanity itself.
