Description

Locus Best Science Fiction Novel, 2014

The third book in the NYT bestselling Expanse series, Abaddon's Gate opens the door to the ruins of an alien gate network, and the crew of the Rocinante may hold the key to unlocking its secrets.

HUGO AWARD WINNER FOR BEST SERIES

For generations, the solar system—Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt—was humanity's great frontier. Until now. The alien artifact working through its program under the clouds of Venus has appeared in Uranus's orbit, where it has built a massive gate that leads to a starless dark.

Jim Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are part of a vast flotilla of scientific and military ships going out to examine the artifact. But behind the scenes, a complex plot is unfolding, with the destruction of Holden at its core. As the emissaries of the human race try to find whether the gate is an opportunity or a threat, the greatest danger is the one they brought with them.

Abaddon's Gate is a breakneck science fiction adventure following the critically acclaimed Caliban's War.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Politics, philosophical ideals, and humor mingle in a tale that will shock and surprise." (Publishers Weekly on Abaddon's Gate, starred review)

"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, starred review)

Absolutely worth it #Audible1

If you have enjoyed the first two books you should keep on reading! The adventures of Holden and his crew are just as good as in the first two. If you haven't started yet, I highly recommend picking up the first book. Even if you have seen the TV show, the books differ enough that its worth finding out how it all started as you retread the journey. Really excited that Amazon has picked up the TV series to continue it on Amazon Prime in the future. #Audible1

Not as good as the previous

Not as good as the first two but still very enjoyable. Narration was great and I know the next book will be even better.

Excellent in every way.

I would prefer to have a full cast but Jeff Mays does a fantastic job. The story is incredible and I can't wait to start the next.

Solid 3rd entry

As the solar system is shaken by the events of the 1st two books, this novel carries on to deal with themes that are all too familiar in our real lives. The mystery of the protomolecule is further explored and how humanity deals with problems is all too familiar. The common thoughts of kill before being killed for survival vs the coming together as a unified force to overcome adversity provide division once again amongst the human race.

Actually action packed!

This book moves fast. There is set up in the first 100 pages but then it starts moving and doesn't stop. Certainly not boring, excellent characters and an excellent story! My favorite one so far!

It’s about the characters, dummy!

Thank goodness it’s Jefferson Mays reading this work. The characters are so eminently deserving of his capable, even-handed reading. After hearing so many other readers basically turn their reading of oppositely-sexed characters into caricatures, it is refreshing and gratifying to hear a male reader who doesn’t lean into a lame head voice to read a strong, capable female character. You feel like he trusts the listener to pick up on the textual cues left by the author to make up their own mind about how high or deep a voice is pitched, rather than mash the voice into submission with gender tropes.
Yes, this is more a Jefferson Mays review than a novel-specific comment, but it goes to show that Hachette made a really good call retaining him for the series. This is my second listen through the books, and I love it even more than the first!
My only beef with the book is that the third act of the book relies somewhat heavily on action set pieces and feels like it goes on forever. I’m sure there is an important point being made about the development of relationships between military superpowers, but the violence feels gratuitous to my palate.
Recommended reading!
