A thousand worlds have opened, and the greatest land rush in human history has begun. As wave after wave of colonists leave, the power structures of the old solar system begin to buckle.

Ships are disappearing without a trace. Private armies are being secretly formed. The sole remaining protomolecule sample is stolen. Terrorist attacks previously considered impossible bring the inner planets to their knees. The sins of the past are returning to exact a terrible price.

And as a new human order is struggling to be born in blood and fire, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante must struggle to survive and get back to the only home they have left.

Ratings and reviews

It was slower paced than the other books in the series and the climax was a little dull but really this book did much to keep the series interesting long term. It set up for many more good stories in this universe. As others have said, this book gave you lots of background on the characters that we didn't have. All in all,very solid for a 5th book in a series and I can't wait for more. Glad this writer pumps out the books but even a year will be a long wait.

Things start off a weird. There are a lot of mechanized things all over the place, but unless you've watched or read other sci-fi's , you wouldn't know what these are. Even then, all mechanized things may now seem borrowed and the image of the book mutate to your favorite sci-fi.

Despite isolating several different storylines, the authors used Nemesis Games to dramatically change the entire landscape of the series once again, and set the stage for even more to come in their next. The Expanse series continues to entertain, while maintaining some originality with the characters we've come to care for.
