Publisher's Summary
In the thousand-sun network of humanity's expansion, new colony worlds are struggling to find their way. Every new planet lives on a knife-edge between collapse and wonder, and the crew of the aging gunship, Rocinante, have their hands more than full keeping the fragile peace.
In the vast space between Earth and Jupiter, the inner planets and the Belt have formed a tentative and uncertain alliance still haunted by a history of wars and prejudices. On the lost colony world of Laconia, a hidden enemy has a new vision for all of humanity and the power to enforce it. New technologies clash with old as the history of human conflict returns to its ancient pattern of war and subjugation. But human nature is not the only enemy, and the forces being unleashed have their own price. A price that will change the shape of humanity - and of the Rocinante - unexpectedly and forever....

Answers more questions, but leaves you wanting more
Another well written and performed book. It tied up some ends, and had an amazing ending leaving you wanting more. So much so, I had to buy the next book straight away.

If you love the show, keen listening.
The Expanse was one of my favourite shows ever. When it ended I was on the fence whether to read the books, knowing there were some minor changes.
Start here, it's not jarring, and well worth your time

Wow didn’t think series could get better!
I thought it had reached its pinnacle and this book would be like the downhill slide and just a money maker 7th book. But it was so gripping and I just binge listened to it as I had to know what would happen!

Slowing down
I'm not sure if it was me, but the story wasn't really there like previous books. It's a big build up for the next book, I'm still excited to continue the series

Definitely worth the listen but a bit of a slog
I think this is the book in the series for which some fans are going to drop off. I enjoyed the story, but it was a bit of a slog, and I repeatedly thought, if I was reading this, I probably would have stopped by now. the author's can write a lot of things, but they struggle to write compelling antagonists. instead they write villains, and the sections of the book with the villains as viewpoint were especially "sloggiest". they were just too one-dimensional and repetitive to spend so much time with. if I'd had a book, I would've chucked it across the room at points. in this case, I think want to throw my phone. other than that issue, the story is interesting and engaging, and sometimes great. But it doesn't really feel as if momentum builds up to the climax rather than the climax just suddenly begins. and as to my opening sentence, the authors have done an incredible job creating a fictional universe with an attention to detail that makes it logical and believable. this strength however draws attention to how gappy the fiction is in respect to the worlds that are more alien

Excellent story but a little short
Loved the story and happy to see some fruit coming from the Calibans War storyline - but the ending leaves too many storylines up in the air, some more conclusions would be great.

Of course it's amazing
If you're this far in to the Expanse, you already know that it's going to be damn good. It is.
