Publisher's Summary
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.
Critic Reviews
"This breakneck tale will have readers itching for book three." (Publishers Weekly)
"Great characters, excellent dialogue, memorable fights, freakish experiments, and twisty-turny mysteries... Only an excellent book series can pull them all off, and the Expanse will definitely be added to the shortlist of science fiction tales that manage to do so" (Wired.com)
"Those who enjoyed the first book will enjoy Caliban's War as much, if not more... A crackingly enjoyable read." (SFF World)

So well read by Jefferson Mays!!

Fantastic series!
Great series and the narration by Jefferson Mays is outstanding. I'm listening for the second time and would recommended The Vital Abyss (novella) before going on to book 4.

Good Story, Great Narration
The Narrator is gifted and brought added gloss to the story. A good Sci-Fi series made even better by well developed characters narrated with talent.

Just wow!
I fell in love with the tv series when I discovered it on iTunes and was so excited when I realised the books were available on audible. It didn’t matter that I had some character visuals from the show, mostly they were pretty good. I’m just so glad I could listen to it from the start again and relive it knowing there is more to come!
This book and the awesome characters have kept me company for many sleepless nights and beach walks.
The narrator is one of the very best I have ever heard and I usually prefer British narrators. His voice was soothing in the early hours and subtle with the characters, yet distinct enough to bring them to life in their unique ways.
I felt completely drawn into this epic story, such a wonderful escape into a whole new universe, so vivid the settings and the characters, their struggles, relationships and the humour all just in reach of reality. Absolutely brilliant, I want to savour what is yet to come...
