About this listen

 The eighth novel in James S. A. Corey's New York Times bestselling 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 Cortazar 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...©2019 Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck (P)2019 Recorded Books Adventure Fiction First Contact Science Fiction Space Exploration Space Opera Interstellar

This is a masterpiece, I found it hard to stop listening and finished it in a few days.
I would say this is the best one so far.
After some of the earlier books being a little on the repetitive side, with not much more on the proto-molecule and the races of aliens, which to me is the great mystery which should unfold as the series progresses, but we have seen little of that for quite a few books.. This book finally picks up the sci-fi pace with an great story line with the right amount of action, politics and development of existing characters and the introduction of a few new ones.

This has to be the best of the Expanse books

I don't think I've ever read or watched the 8th episode of anything and found it to be still worthy of the originals, but Tiamat's Wrath is easily worthy. The story is well-written, the characters are intelligent and relateable, and the science is wonderfully accurate. Can't wait for the next one.

Another fantastic installment
