The fifth novel in Corey's New York Times bestselling Expanse series--now being produced for television by the SyFy Channel!

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.

Review of 'Nemesis Games' on 'Goodreads'

This one was... different. And I'm not sure if I liked that. It showed an extremely different side of everything, and even put on hold most of the plotlines that had been developing in the first four books.

It was probably my least favorite to read, but definitely the most intriguing from the perspective of the overall storyline; it feels like the authors took a book to step back and set a few things right before they moved on into the later books (which I have not, as of writing this review, read yet) so they can make sure to get things right later, and I like that.

ALSO there are some wonderful all-new plotlines and characters thrown in now that make me excited to see what's coming next. So yeah, different, but it has a lot of potential, depending on how the later books progress.

Since the first book I had hoped that we would get PoV chapters for the other members of the Rocinante and Nemesis Games got me exactly that. The crew splits up to deal with personal matters, and so we have four different perspectives of the assault of a terrorist group to close down the Ring forever. Amos' PoV was a glimpse at a post-apocalyptic tale, Naomi's story was a bit heart-breaking, and through Alex' PoV I am slightly shipping him with Bobbie now. Familiar characters are brought back, and the stakes are high. Even Holden is no …
