Publisher's Summary
A revolution brewing for generations has begun in fire. It will end in blood.
The Free Navy - a violent group of Belters in black-market military ships - has crippled the Earth and begun a campaign of piracy and violence among the outer planets.
The colony ships heading for the 1,000 new worlds on the far side of the alien ring gates are easy prey, and no single navy remains strong enough to protect them. James Holden and his crew know the strengths and weaknesses of this new force better than anyone.
Outnumbered and outgunned, the embattled remnants of the old political powers call on the Rocinante for a desperate mission to reach Medina Station at the heart of the gate network. But the new alliances are as flawed as the old, and the struggle for power has only just begun.
As the chaos grows, an alien mystery deepens. Pirate fleets, mutiny and betrayal may be the least of the Rocinante's problems. And in the uncanny spaces past the ring gates, the choices of a few damaged and desperate people may determine the fate of more than just humanity.

Might be the best so far.
Have been a fan of the series and the narrator for a while but this is some of their best work.
Cleverly written and wonderfully performed

Oh man, enough with the fighting
The first few books of this series were awesome. Alien technology, wormholes, foreign worlds. Then in this book especially it’s all turned so insular, focussed on human infighting than the wealth of cool stories that lie beyond the horizon. Please, let the next book go back to the unknown again. It’s called the ‘expanse’ series after all.

Good but very slow
I’ve really enjoyed this series and plan to keep reading, but this one was a bit painful. It hovers between the politics of war and sci-fi without really being good at either, similar to the way “Abbadon’s Gate” did with religious views. It adds to the story/backstory but not in a way that justifies such detail

Bit slower than the previous titles but still good
Was a little slower and seemed to lose its way a bit. Jefferson Mays always gives a great performance, and if you're at this point in the series you aren't reading the reviews!
