Author Name: James S. A. Corey

The ninth novel in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series, adapted into a Syfy television series. The empire of Laconia has fallen, leaving thirteen hundred solar systems outside the rule of Winston Duarte. But the ancient enemy who killed the Gate Builders has risen from slumber, and the war against our universe has begun once again. In the dead system of Adro, Elfie Okoye leads a desperate scientific mission to understand who the Gate Builders are and what led to their demise, even if it means risking herself and the half-human children who bore the brunt of her mission. Across the far-flung human systems, Colonel Aliana Tanaka searches for Duarte's missing daughter—and for the deposed Emperor himself! Aboard the Rocinante, James Holden and his crew struggle to build a future for humanity from the fragments and ruins of all that has passed. As forces bordering on madness prepare to wipe out the human race, Holden and a group of unlikely allies discover a last, desperate chance to unite all of humanity, with the hope of a vast, global civilization free of wars, dissensions, lies, and secrets if they win. But the price of victory may be even more terrible than the cost of defeat.
