About this listen

With over 10 million copies sold, The Expanse has become one of the biggest science fiction phenomenons of the decade.

The fifth book in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series, Nemesis Games drives the crew of the Rocinante apart, and as they struggle to survive, the inner planets fall victim to an enemy's catastrophic plan. Now a Prime Original series.


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.

Nemesis Games is a breakneck science fiction adventure following the bestselling Cibola Burn.

"Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written." —George R. R. Martin

What the critics say

"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 (starred review) on Cibola Burn
"The Expanse series is the best space opera series running at full tilt right now, and Cibola Burn continues that streak of excellence."—io9 on Cibola Burn
"Corey's splendid fourth Expanse novel blends adventure with uncommon decency."—Publishers Weekly (starred review) 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
"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
"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

This is a great continuing story of the crew of the Rocinante. I don't normally enjoy it when teams split up, but the individual plot lines make a great cohesive story. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

As good as the previous books.

Best one yet

Cant believe that this series is coming to an end. I hope they answer all my questions by the end of it. Until then I'll continue loving the characters in the series.

The TV show doesn't do this series justice!

It’s hard not to be hooked after this book. So many twists and big moments. Jefferson Mays also was amazing (as always).

Great performance and a riveting story! The authors really built the characters as fully rounded and complex real people with ambitions, anxieties, skills, and hope for their futures. Excellent!

Doesn’t disappoint!

I don't know how to write a review for this. These books are a masterpiece and if you've listened to the others, you probably know that and aren't reading this, cause you don't need a recommendation.

Excellent

Great story

This was my favorite book in the Expanse series so far. I really enjoyed how the story was told from the perspective of the 4 main characters from the other books, and that we encountered some returning characters as well. I found learning about each character's backstory was engaging, and there was a good amount of action keeping me an the edge of my seat. overall, I'm really excited to see what comes next.

Best Expanse book yet!

I have read the first few books and also have listened to a few. great story and a decent narrator.

I would suggest 1.25 or 1.5 speed. The narrator pauses an awful lot. speeding it up helps. this is not enough to take away a star.

a must read/listen. For the entire series.

Zuch a great space story!

The narration is spot on, similar to the show itself. Book 5 is an amazing story by itself and Jefferson's narration complements it greatly. Moving on to book 6!

Amazing all around
