About this ebook

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 biggest science fiction series of the last decade and is now a major TV series.

Ratings and reviews

Some parts felt mildly rushed but lots of emotion and solid bew charecters not to mention a hell of a twist followed by a vombshell of a twist i have bo doubt fhe 3rd book sill be the best of the first 3. In to the next...

If you've got a problem and no one else can help, maybe you need to hire the rocinante. We're introduced to some new characters, some appear again later in the series. Real page turner and one of my favourites in the series.

Holden stupidity continues. Now, everyone around him is even less competent just to make him look smarter. As the botom note on the series: it is the most boring space opera I have ever red, more like soap opera, and since book 5 dialogues even stop making any sense.
