Hugo-nominated Leviathan Wakes. NOW A MAJOR TV SERIES FROM NETFLIX 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 thousand 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.
