Description

With over 10 million copies sold, The Expanse has become one of the biggest science fiction phenomenons of the decade. The fifth book in the NYT bestselling Expanse series, Nemesis Games drives the crew of the Rocinante apart, and as they struggle to survive, the inner planets fall victim to an enemy's catastrophic plan.

Now a Prime Original series. 

HUGO AWARD WINNER FOR BEST SERIES

A thousand worlds have opened, and the greatest land rush in human history has begun. As wave after wave of colonists leave, the power structures of the old solar system begin to buckle.

Ships are disappearing without a trace. Private armies are being secretly formed. The sole remaining protomolecule sample is stolen. Terrorist attacks previously considered impossible bring the inner planets to their knees. The sins of the past are returning to exact a terrible price.

And as a new human order is struggling to be born in blood and fire, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante must struggle to survive and get back to the only home they have left.

Nemesis Games is a breakneck science fiction adventure following the bestselling Cibola Burn.

    This book was so awesome! The POV chapters were my favorite so far I love that we got to get into the minds of the crew! Alex and Amos chapters really did not disappoint and I’m very excited about the new crew member as well.

  • Another great read

    Another great book in the series. Surprise after surprise with non stop twists and turns. Learning more about the backgrounds of the main characters is fascinating.

  • Mostly a book about the history of the crew of Roci

    It is an interesting read but there isn’t anything new that happens in the book with regards to protomolecule. My least favorite of the series so far.

  • Fantastic as always.

    I was worried about the direction the series was going, because up until the previous book Cibola Burn the series was good, with that one misshap out the way the Expanse is still a good series but not great because the author puts unnecessary filler in the book

  • Clearly out of ideas

    I loved the first couple of books in this series, but it’s clear the authors ran out of ideas a long way back. I skipped entire chapters of this book because they contained nothing of serious value to the main story.

  • The Crew Pursue Individual Missions While Events Unfold

    In “Nemesis Games” the crew of the Rocinante go on separate missions early in the novel, while the ship gets significant repairs at Tyco Station. Each of these missions is related to unfinished business from their past. Likewise, each of these individual stories provide interesting background for the characters. While these personal problems are being worked out, a larger and deeper plot is unfolding. This over-arching story will change the balance of power in the Solar System, and the course of history. Needless to say, our crew will end up in the thick of these events. I find that this novel is a good sequel to “Cibola Burn.” I think I actually enjoyed it more, as the threaded narrative focusing on the individual characters really worked for me. It was also nice that it saw the re-introduction of some characters from previous works. It might be good to have read the Expanse Novella “The Churn” before this one as it provides background on characters involved in Amos Burton’s portion of the book.

  • Amazing!

    Started off kind of slow and unknown where the story was going. But boy did it take off!
