Starred review from May 18, 2015
Corey (a joint pseudonym for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) continues the bestselling Expanse space opera series (following Cibola Burn) with a standout tale of violence, intrigue, ambition, and hope. A diaspora of humans seeking wealth and adventure is on the move from Earth to the asteroid belt and the outer planets and moons of the solar system. With three governments in the solar system—Earth; the asteroid miners, called Belters; and the Outer Planets Alliance—disagreements are many and rebellion all too possible. Capt. James Holden and his crew stop at Tycho for ship repair and some well-deserved personal leave, but the universe has other ideas. Colony-bound ships are mysteriously disappearing midflight, and the black market for military equipment from Mars is booming. When rebels suddenly drop asteroids on Earth, killing millions, Holden and his people are once again caught up in deadly events with system-wide consequences. 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.

The crew of the Rocinante takes advantage of a lengthy repair to leave Captain Holden behind on Tycho and go off in separate directions to take care of long-postponed personal business. All three are immediately thrust into peril in disparate facets of a new conspiracy with unknown villains trying to take control of the solar system and cut off access to the galaxy beyond (through the gateways of the rings). Minor characters from earlier novels are pulled into the plot, and, although this feels like a setup for the new television series scheduled for this fall, it's fun to get reacquainted. Though the fifth in the series (after Cibola Burn), this is the start of a new story arc and is a fine entry point. This story is all about characters, and both existing fans and those new to the "Expanse" series will enjoy Jefferson Mays's fine performance. VERDICT Space opera at its finest; sure to satisfy sf and adventure fans.--Janet Martin, Southern Pines P.L., NC
