The explosive fourth novel in James S.A. Corey's New York Times bestselling Expanse series. Now a major television series on Syfy!ENTER A NEW FRONTIER."An empty apartment, a missing family, that's creepy. But this is like finding a military base with no one on it. Fighters and tanks idling on the runway with no drivers. This is bad juju. Something wrong happened here. What you should do is tell everyone to leave."The gates have opened the way to a thousand new worlds and the rush to colonize has begun. Settlers looking for a new life stream out from humanity's home planets. Ilus, the first human colony on this vast new frontier, is being born in blood and fire. Independent settlers stand against the overwhelming power of a corporate colony ship with only their determination, courage, and the skills learned in the long wars of home. Innocent scientists are slaughtered as they try to survey a new and alien world. The struggle on Ilus threatens to spread all the way back to Earth. James Holden and the crew of his one small ship are sent to make peace in the midst of war and sense in the midst of chaos. But the more he looks at it, the more Holden thinks the mission was meant to fail. And the whispers of a dead man remind him that the great galactic civilization that once stood on this land is gone. And that something killed it.

Review "It's been too long since we've had a really kickass space opera. LEVIATHAN WAKES is interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written, the kind of SF that made me fall in love with the genre way back when, seasoned with a dollop of horror and a dash of noir. Jimmy Corey writes with the energy of a brash newcomer and the polish of a seasoned pro. So where's the second book?"―George R.R. Martin on Leviathan Wakes"The science fictional equivalent of A Song of Ice and Fire... only with fewer beheadings and way more spaceships."―NPR Books on Cibola Burn"Combining an exploration of real human frailties with big SF ideas and exciting thriller action, Corey cements the series as must-read space opera."―Library Journal on Cibola Burn (Starred Review)"The Expanse is the best space opera series running at full tilt right now, and Cibola Burn continues that streak of excellence."―io9 on Cibola Burn"A politically complex and pulse-pounding page-turner.... Corey perfectly balances character development with action... series fans will find this installment the best yet."―Publishers Weekly on Abaddon's Gate"An excellent space operatic debut in the grand tradition of Peter F. Hamilton."―Charles Stross on Leviathan Wakes"High adventure equaling the best space opera has to offer, cutting-edge technology, and a group of unforgettable characters bring the third installment of Corey's epic space drama (after Caliban's War and Leviathan Wakes) to an action-filled close while leaving room for more stories to unfold. Perhaps one of the best tales the genre has yet to produce, this superb collaboration between fantasy author Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck should reawaken an interest in old-fashioned storytelling and cinematic pacing. Highly recommended."―Library Journal on Abaddon's Gate"Literary space opera at its absolute best."―io9.com on Abaddon's Gate"[T]he authors are superb with the exciting bits: Shipboard coups and battles are a thrill to follow."―Washington Post on Abaddon's Gate"Riveting interplanetary thriller."―Publishers Weekly on Leviathan Wakes

53 of 56 people found the following review helpful. A transition novel that disappoints a bit By Todd S Previous books in the series have established a future in which the solar system has been claimed by three factions, but the stars are out of reach. The Expanse has done space opera right with touches of Aliens and Chinatown thrown in for flavor. However, much of the momentum created by the preceding novels has been wasted just as the universe has opened up. Mild Spoilers: The initial setup of squatters versus corporation does a great job of pitting two equally grey groups against each other. Daniel Abraham (one half of James Corey) has always excelled at characters that are understandable despite their awful choices. Yet, the introduction of a stereotypical, mustache-twirling villain in the form of a security chief destroys this balance. The unnecessary escalation of violence followed by random dangers (storms, slugs, and algae) just feels sloppy. None of the new characters add much and the female character who essentially "just needs to get laid" is a bit offensive. The ending is compressed and rushed. Further, the lack of consequences to characters despite the constant cataclysmic events robs much of the tension. End Spoilers: Don't take my criticism to mean that you shouldn't read the book. I still highly recommend the series and look forward to the next entry, but I hope things pick up. The series is best when the characters aren't confined to a single planet.
25 of 29 people found the following review helpful. Weak plot and one-dimensional characters steal the word Opera right out of "Space Opera" for a plodding drag through the mud. By G. College I find myself agreeing heartily with other reviewers. I was instantly converted into a fan of The Expanse series, but this book left me with a poor experience.The first thing that took me out was the premise and the plot. The opening idea is that, as soon as we are faced with the ability to jointly colonize thousands of worlds, a single ship made a run for one of them and started squatting there. This is asinine. First of all, I don't understand how a mom-and-pop ship of motley Ganymede outcasts would beat the UN, the OPA, and Mars to probing the new worlds, let alone just flying right past Fred Johnson and the OPA's Medina Station to go and squat, and everyone just allowed them to. Previous books in the series have always been about the power-struggle between these forces, and how they never give an inch, but an independent vessel shooting through the ring (which is the one and only ship who got this idea in the whole of the Sol system, apparently) just glides on through.So if we suspend our disbelief enough to allow for this, we can now have a plot contrived around the idea of the Wild West, and who can claim land and who makes the laws. If you didn't catch on to that initially, it will be mentioned repeatedly during the struggle between Holden and his obstinate, cartoonish antagonist.Which brings me to the antagonist (and his equally obstinate right-hand man). They are simply self-destructive, unrealistic hazards that somehow ingratiated themselves into the upper eschelon of a massive corporation that we are repeatedly sold to the notion are one half of a morally grey tapestry, and are reminded constantly that they're not the bad guys, they're just here to claim what has been given them by the various governments of Sol. Except they employ psychopathic megalomaniacs, and employ scorched earth tactics when faced with opposition. It becomes very hard to see the "grey" in this conflict. And erstwhile good-intended characters follow along with this mania, because they're just "following orders".This is the Michael Bay version of The Expanse. It's a situation of humorously-escalating apocalyptic stakes, one-dimensional characters who behave outside the realm of believability, and a deus-ex-machina (literally) that solves the plot in an "everyone wins but the bad guys" scenario. It doesn't detract from the Bay comparison that the former kepeers of Ilus indeed remind one of the modern Transformers (another lazy creation).But the thing that bugs me the most, out of everyone, is the character of Elvi Okoye. We are constantly reminded that she is attractive, but quirky to the point of being unaware of how dorky she is. I guess it should be hilarious (?) every time she starts passionately talking about science and then whomever she is talking to verbally pats her on the head (this happens many times). Worse still is her immediate puppy-dog infatuation for James Holden. She is immediately head-over-heels in love with the intrepid hero, to the point where it is ruining her ability to function as a normal human being. And how is this resolved? By her getting laid. The one-dimensional female caricature is "fixed" by simply getting some, and her obsessive fantasies dissolve. Once again, she is simply pacified by the men around her.I get that not every woman in the universe has to the the bad-ass ambassador for women's rights (though I would've loved some more Bobbie Draper in this book, to be sure), but this is patently in the wrong side of the field. I was honestly insulted by her character.This is a transition novel in every sense of the phrase. I have no doubt that the payoff resulting from this will be great (the last line of the book spoken by Avasarala gave me a chill up my spine), but the road there is bumpy. I feel like there is this grand notion of where the series is going, but to get there we had to just suspend rationality and accept this novel as the bridge that got us there. If I find myself reading The Expanse again (I will no doubt re-read the original trilogy), I will be skipping Cibola Burn.
12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Just read this one, the audio narrator is bad. By James Bazhaw While I love the series and this book does deliver, I happened to buy the audio books as well, the narrator of this book is terrible, voice is laggy and the voices he chooses have nothing to do with the characters. I'm happy they went back to the other narrator.
