against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one

Empire has fallen, setting the thirteen hundred solar systems free
from the rule of Winston Duarte. But the ancient enemy that killed
the gate builders is awake, and the war against our universe has
begun again. In the dead system of Adro, Elvi Okoye leads a
desperate scientific mission to understand what the gate builders
were and what destroyed them, even if it means compromising herself
and the half-alien children who bear the weight of her
investigation. Through the wide-flung systems of humanity, Colonel
Aliana Tanaka hunts for Duarte's missing daughter. . . and the
shattered emperor himself. And on the Rocinante, James Holden and
his crew struggle to build a future for humanity out of the shards
and ruins of all that has come before. As nearly unimaginable
forces prepare to annihilate all human life, Holden and a group of
unlikely allies discover a last, desperate chance to unite all of
humanity, with the promise of a vast galactic civilization free
from wars, factions, lies, and secrets if they win. But the price
of victory may be worse than the cost of defeat. 'A thrill ride of

NOW A PRIME ORIGINAL TV SERIES Caliban's War is the second book in
the New York Times bestselling and Hugo-award winning Expanse
series. For someone who didn't intend to wreck the solar system's
fragile balance of power, Jim Holden did a pretty good job of it.
While Earth and Mars have stopped shooting each other, the core
alliance is shattered. The outer planets and the Belt are uncertain
in their new - possibly temporary - autonomy. Then, on one of
Jupiter's moons, a single super-soldier attacks, slaughtering
soldiers of Earth and Mars indiscriminately and reigniting the war.
The race is on to discover whether this is the vanguard of an alien
army, or if the danger lies closer to home. The Expanse is the

stream out from humanity's home planets. Illus, the first human
colony on this vast new frontier, is being born in blood and fire.
Independent settlers stand against the overwhelming power of a
corporate colony ship with only their determination, courage and
the skills learned in the long wars of home. Innocent scientists
are slaughtered as they try to survey a new and alien world. James
Holden and the crew of his one small ship are sent to make peace in

A revolution brewing for generations has begun in fire. It will end
in blood. The Free Navy - a violent group of Belters in
black-market military ships - has crippled the Earth and begun a
campaign of piracy and violence among the outer planets. The colony
ships heading for the thousand new worlds on the far side of the
alien ring gates are easy prey, and no single navy remains strong
enough to protect them. James Holden and his crew know the
strengths and weaknesses of this new force better than anyone.
Outnumbered and outgunned, the embattled remnants of the old
political powers call on the Rocinante for a desperate mission to
reach Medina Station at the heart of the gate network. But the new
alliances are as flawed as the old, and the struggle for power has
only just begun. As the chaos grows, an alien mystery deepens.
Pirate fleets, mutiny and betrayal may be the least of the
Rocinante's problems. And in the uncanny spaces past the ring
gates, the choices of a few damaged and desperate people may
determine the fate of more than just humanity.

novel in the New York Times bestselling and Hugo-award winning
Expanse series. In the thousand-sun network of humanity's
expansion, new colony worlds are struggling to find their way.
Every new planet lives on a knife-edge between collapse and wonder,
and the crew of the ageing gunship Rocinante have their hands more
than full keeping the fragile peace. In the vast space between
Earth and Jupiter, the inner planets and the Belt have formed a
tentative and uncertain alliance, still haunted by a history of
wars and prejudices. On the lost colony world of Laconia, a hidden
enemy has a new vision for all of humanity - and the power to
enforce it. New technologies clash with old, as the history of
human conflict returns to its ancient pattern of war and
subjugation. But human nature is not the only enemy, and the forces
being unleashed have their own price. A price that will change the
shape of humanity - and of the Rocinante - unexpectedly and for
ever . . . The Expanse is the biggest science fiction series of the

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
