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 series: Leviathan Wakes Caliban's War Abaddon's Gate Cibola
