Publisher's Summary

The eighth novel in James S. A. Corey's New York Times best-selling Expanse series - now a major television 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....

A fitting end to a superb Expanse series

Congratulations to the authors and narrator for a superbly produced series. Against the backdrop of the human life cycle, everyone in the series ages naturally. The bodies of the dictators and power-grabbers do not know they are dictators and mortal. That's a good aspect. I enjoyed the authors' intelligence, deep understanding of language and character evolution, and will return to this series again and again.

Solid. But wanted a little more at the end.

I think it was weird to have jumped the timeline the way they did earlier in the series. Had they not have done that it would be a very different plot. But this was decent. Some crazy stuff happens. I feel like one or two more chapters could have wrapped it up a little better. I think I read somewhere that this was the last one, so really think it needs just a tad more. But overall, quite good.
Narrator was ok, good performance. But at first I didn't think his voice was the right fit. I got used to it and thought he did a good job in the end.

Great Book!

I blasted through this book.
The climax at the end was great and sets up the final book well.

Would highly recommend.

Loved it!

I've enjoyed the series so far, but as I got this book I was wondering how long this story can stay interesting. The answer is at least one more book. This was great, the characters continue to grow and change, not everything works out so you're always wondering, the narrator is awesome as usual, you always know who is talking even when it's not stated. I just liked everything about this book.

The best yet and setting up for an amazing finale!

I loved the introduction of new characters this time around, it was much better than the last set.

The stakes were incredibly high and the costs were just as brutal.

My only criticism is the apparent neutralisation of a major character in a very strange way. The story is still left untold though so perhaps it could turn around.

Best book on the series so far yet.

Epic stuff

Outstanding! Hard to fault this. Excellent all round performances by authors and narrator. Major character evolutions set against a highly intelligent story.
