Description

Hugo Award Winner for Best Series

The second book in the NYT best-selling Expanse series, Caliban's War shows a solar system on the brink of war, and the only hope of peace rests on James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante's shoulders. Now a Prime Original series.

We are not alone.

On Ganymede, breadbasket of the outer planets, a Martian marine watches as her platoon is slaughtered by a monstrous supersoldier. On Earth, a high-level politician struggles to prevent interplanetary war from reigniting. And on Venus, an alien protomolecule has overrun the planet, wreaking massive, mysterious changes and threatening to spread out into the solar system.

In the vast wilderness of space, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante have been keeping the peace for the Outer Planets Alliance. When they agree to help a scientist search war-torn Ganymede for a missing child, the future of humanity rests on whether a single ship can prevent an alien invasion that may have already begun...

Perfect series to listen to

Not all books work well as audiobooks, but Corey's writing style works well in this format. I'm a big fan of the ScyFy/Amazon TV adaptation, but I did find that the show peaked in the first couple of seasons. Going through the books now, I've found that my few gripes with the plotlines in the show are precisely where it diverts from the source material. Where the plots get a little wacky, contrite and at times a hinder suspension of disbelief in the show, the books are more coherent. The TV adaptation is very good obviously, but perhaps unsurprisingly, the books are even better, and the gap between the two seems to widen as you get deeper into the series. If you're a fan of the show, don't think that knowing the outcomes will spoil the books - they don't. What becomes very clear is that the casting and art direction in the show is impeccable and for the most part is very true to the books' descriptions, so it's nice to have clear pictures in your mind of what the characters look like, the ships, etc. But the show has warped some of the plots to fit with the hamfisted messaging and worldviews that seem to be ubiquitous in big budget TV/movies on streaming platforms, and suffers for it - the books are more imaginative and nuanced in that regard.

Very entertaining!

I’m listening to this after watching the series on Amazon Prime. It’s interesting to note the differences between the two. I loved the series and feel the same about the books! A very entertaining way to pass the time!

Better than the tv series!

I still picture the actors who played the various roles in the TV Series "The Expanse" but this book is better. Extra items that I don't recall happening in the show, that play out in the book add even more depth to already great characters.

Performance is solid as well. Never so jarring that I lose immersion and never flat.

Better than the first book

A step up with dynamic and very interesting characters. The plot is compelling, but the characters will keep you coming back for more. Seriously.

Another Great Book In The Series

Loved it, just another great continuation of the series. Really enjoy the more realistic take on sci-fi. For some reason the narrator was better in the first book but still did a great job in this one too.

The amazing saga continues

Like most people, I watched the TV series of The Expanse before starting the books. A lot of the show's events are in these books, but there is a great deal more character detail and nuanced lore presented in here than they could have been expected to put in the show. If you're someone who is invested in the universe, you should go through this series.

Jefferson Mays does a great job at narration, but unfortunately, like the first book, the authors are bad at conveying dialogue between multiple characters. At least to me, the constant "he said", "she said", "they replied" in conversations between two characters that are easily identified throughout, both in general and because of Mays' distinct delivery for each, really gets on my nerves. You don't need to point out each time someone says something, we hear them saying it. Even in written form, there are better ways to do this, but for the audiobook, I would really have liked that bloat to have been edited out, since Mays had a distinct voice and tone for each character, making it obvious who is speaking. This is going to be a nitpick for many, but it's what holds me back from a full 5 star rating.

I still have many books to go, but so far, I'm still hooked on this.

Let me cry just alittle

I really enjoyed this one. lots of emotional impact and definitely building up the crew and all they are sacrificing to try to do what is right or just...hard to tell sometimes!

Magnificent story.

Having watched the TV show first, the audiobook adds so much more nuances to the characters. The narrator nails the voices and characters and ofcourse the story is awesome.

Better then the first book

This book has the same narrator as the first book so if you enjoyed the first narration then no change here. I think the narration is done well enough and just enough change to the voices of each of the characters to help you understand who is talking.

The story is amazing. I enjoyed the first one but overall thought it was okay. I liked it well enough to try this one and I'm glad I did. The second novel has me itching to listen to the rest. All the small issues I had with the first book when it came to the characters have been mostly done away with. Certain characters I didn't really care for in the first book, really come into their own in this one. The plot really hooked me and while it was a bit cliche "military wants to use unknown thing for military purposes and blows up in their face" it was written well enough to keep it engaging. I hope this writing continues and the next book gives us a more original plot line.
