James S. A. Corey ~ Caliban's War

for the debut of the next book in the
Expanse series:

Caliban's War

The action-packed Expanse series continues in Caliban's War, the sequel to the Hugo-nominated Leviathan Wakes, as a creature of unknown origin and seemingly impossible physiology attacks soldiers on Ganymede, and the fragile balance of power in the Solar System shatters.

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 . . .

Speaking of Leviathan Wakes...

"This is the future the way it was supposed to be."

— George R.R. Martin

"An excellent space operatic debut in the grand tradition of Peter F. Hamilton.""

— Charlie Stross

"If you like science fiction with great characters and set in real space, you'll enjoy this one."
