NOW A PRIME ORIGINAL TV SERIES Tiamat's Wrath is the eighth book in
the New York Times bestselling and Hugo-award winning Expanse
series. Thirteen hundred gates have opened to solar systems around
the galaxy. But as humanity builds its interstellar empire in the
alien ruins, the mysteries and threats grow deeper. In the dead
systems where gates lead to stranger things than alien planets,
Elvi Okoye begins a desperate search to discover the nature of a
genocide that happened before the first human beings existed, and
to find weapons to fight a war against forces at the edge of the
imaginable. But the price of that knowledge may be higher than she
can pay. At the heart of the empire, Teresa Duarte prepares to take
on the burden of her father's godlike ambition. The sociopathic
scientist Paolo Cortázar and the Mephistophelian prisoner James
Holden are only two of the dangers in a palace thick with intrigue,
but Teresa has a mind of her own and secrets even her father the
emperor doesn't guess. And throughout the wide human empire, the
scattered crew of the Rocinante fights a brave rear-guard action
against Duarte's authoritarian regime. Memory of the old order
falls away, and a future under Laconia's eternal rule - and with
it, a battle that humanity can only lose - seems more and more
certain. Because against the terrors that lie between worlds,
courage and ambition will not be enough . . . The Expanse is the
biggest science fiction series of the last decade and is now a
major TV series. Praise for the Expanse: 'The science fictional
equivalent of A Song of Ice and Fire' NPR Books 'As close as you'll
get to a Hollywood blockbuster in book form' io9.com 'Great
