Ashes of Babylon

The Spacious Part Six

Author Name: James S. A. Corey

The sixth novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling “The Expanse” series, produced for television by Syfy.
A revolution followed by a generation born in fire and will die in blood.
The "Free Marines"—a violent group of Belters aboard illegal military vessels—have weakened Earth and begun a campaign of plunder and violence on the outer planets. Settlement ships are heading toward a thousand new planets through unknown gateways, and no navy is strong enough to protect them.
James Holden and his crew know the strengths and weaknesses of this new force better than anyone. Desperately, the warring remnants of the old political powers connect to the Rocinante for a desperate mission to reach the City Station at the heart of the portal network.
But new alliances are no better than the old, and the struggle for power has yet to begin. As chaos grows, strange mysteries deepen. Pirate fleets, coups, and betrayals may be the smallest of Rocinante's problems. And in the unknown space beyond the mysterious gates, a few evil and depraved individuals may determine the fate of the entire human race.
