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. …

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...
Review of 'La Colère de Tiamat: The Expanse 8' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Dans cet avant-dernier tome, on retrouve notre équipage dispersé dans plusieurs systèmes solaires face à un ancien général martien devenu empereur post-humain de l'humanité à tentations immortelles. Il se passe évidement plein de choses plutôt (voir franchement) spectaculaires, et c'est toujours écrit avec cette plume feuilletonnante qui accroche le lecteur du début à la fin. Cela dit, on est déja au huitième tome du cycle, et je ne vois pas trop ce que je pourrai raconter de spécifique à ce tome.
Another solid Expanse book. This one was probably better than the previous book. Really kept me engaged more. I'm just such a big fan and I would recommend this to all.
