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.

Missed opportunity.

I love this series, but I felt they could have been more adventurous with this book. The first half opened up with some interesting plot lines with a dark new force threatening humanity, but then they dropped that and got back into the political military soap opera stuff.

Back to form

This is a great GREAT continuation of this series. I found the preceding story quite jarring as it was a sort of “resetting of the board.” This instalment returns to the sweeping grand story told through the perspectives of highly realised characters and shifting political and philosophical views of the established universe. There are some very emotional moments and regular twists of fate thrown at the characters by the setting and their interactions with it and each other. I was drawn in early on and remained engaged to the last word. Get this book!!!

Fantastic book

I’m truly loving this series. I wish Audible would include chapter titles. They did in the previous book, but they seem absent again. Can’t be too much effort, can it?

The best of the series so far

The intricacies of the worlds that have been created in the Expanse come to even great life on Tiamat’s Wrath. The plot lines weaved, connected and then brought together are enthralling and engrossing.
