NOW A PRIME ORIGINAL SERIES Thirteen hundred gates have opened to solar systems around the
galaxy. But as humanity builds its interstellar empire in the alien ruins the mysteries and
threats grow deeper. In the dead systems where gates lead to stranger things than alien planets
Elvi Okoye begins a desperate search to discover the nature of a genocide that happened before
the first human beings existed and to find weapons to fight a war against forces at the edge
of the imaginable. But the price of that knowledge may be higher than she can pay. At the heart
of the empire Teresa Duarte prepares to take on the burden of her father's godlike ambition.
The sociopathic scientist Paolo Cortázar and the Mephistophelian prisoner James Holden are only
two of the dangers in a palace thick with intrigue but Teresa has a mind of her own and
secrets even her father the emperor doesn't guess. And throughout the wide human empire the
scattered crew of the Rocinante fights a brave rear-guard action against Duarte's authoritarian
regime. Memory of the old order falls away and a future under Laconia's eternal rule - and
with it a battle that humanity can only lose - seems more and more certain. Because against
the terrors that lie between worlds courage and ambition will not be enough . . . The Expanse
