Corey's Hugo-award winning space opera that inspired the Prime Original series. <p/>"An all-time genre classic." -<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)</b> <p/>Hugo Award Winner for Best Series <p/>The Laconian Empire has fallen, setting the thirteen hundred solar systems free from the rule of Winston Duarte. But the ancient enemy that killed the gate builders is awake, and the war against our universe has begun again. <p/>In the dead system of Adro, Elvi Okoye leads a desperate scientific mission to understand what the gate builders were and what destroyed them, even if it means compromising herself and the half-alien children who bear the weight of her investigation. Through the wide-flung systems of humanity, Colonel Aliana Tanaka hunts for Duarte's missing daughter. . . and the shattered emperor himself. And on the <i>Rocinante</i>, James Holden and his crew struggle to build a future for humanity out of the shards and ruins of all that has come before. <p/>As nearly unimaginable forces prepare to annihilate all human life, Holden and a group of unlikely allies discover a last, desperate chance to unite all of humanity, with the promise of a vast galactic civilization free from wars, factions, lies, and secrets if they win. <p/>But the price of victory may be worse than the cost of defeat. <p/><b><i>"</i>Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written." --George R.

Corey perfectly balances character development with action... series fans will find this installment the best yet.<br>--<i><b>Publishers Weekly on Abaddon's Gate</b></i><br><br>A standout tale of violence, intrigue, ambition, and hope. ... Corey cranks up the tension relentlessly in this fast-paced story of heroes and rebels fighting for freedom. With enough thrills and intrigue for three Hollywood blockbusters, the novel stands alone nicely, making it easy for new readers as well as diehard series fans to dive right in. <br>--<i><b>Publishers Weekly on Nemesis Games</b></i><br><br>An excellent space operatic debut in the grand tradition of Peter F. Hamilton.<br>--<i><b>Charles Stross on Leviathan Wakes</b></i><br><br>As Corey wraps up their epic space opera series, they're running on all cylinders, playing with epic consequences for humanity, and showing that none of their long-running characters are safe from what could come. But they also put together a story that seems all-too-relevant in this day and age: a warning of the dangers that fascism and totalitarianism bring.--<i><b>Polygon on Tiamat's Wrath</b></i><br><br>Combining an exploration of real human frailties with big SF ideas and exciting thriller action, Corey cements the series as must-read space opera.<br>--<i><b>Library Journal (starred review) on Cibola Burn</b></i><br><br>Corey deftly weaves multiple points of view to create a dense and colorful tapestry of political intrigue, personal relationships, and sophisticated technology that bursts with action but also delivers an introspective view of the characters as they age and reflect on their purpose and the value of their lives.--<i><b>Booklist (starred review) on Tiamat's Wrath</b></i><br><br>Corey's splendid fourth Expanse novel blends adventure with uncommon decency.<br>--<i><b>Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Cibola Burn</b></i><br><br>High adventure equaling the best space opera has to offer, cutting-edge technology, and a group of unforgettable characters bring the third installment of Corey's epic space drama (after <i>Caliban's War</i> and <i>Leviathan Wakes</i>) to an action-filled close while leaving room for more stories to unfold. Perhaps one of the best tales the genre has yet to produce, this superb collaboration between fantasy authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck should reawaken an interest in old-fashioned storytelling and cinematic pacing. Highly recommended.<br>--<i><b>Library Journal (starred review) on Abaddon's Gate</b></i><br><br>It's been too long since we've had a really kickass space opera. <i>Leviathan Wakes</i> is interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written, the kind of SF that made me fall in love with the genre way back when, seasoned with a dollop of horror and a dash of noir. Jimmy Corey writes with the energy of a brash newcomer and the polish of a seasoned pro. So where's the second book?<br>--<i><b>George R. R.
