"Thirteen hundred gates have opened to solar systems around the galaxy. But as humanity builds its interstellar empire in the alien ruins, the mysteries and threats grow deeper. In the dead systems where gates lead to stranger things than alien planets, Elvi Okoye begins a desperate search to discover the nature of a genocide that happened before the first human beings existed, and to find weapons to fight a war against forces at the edge of the imaginable. But the price of that knowledge may be higher than she can pay. At the heart of the empire, Teresa Duarte prepares to take on the burden of her father's godlike ambition. The sociopathic scientist Paolo Cortazar and the Mephistophelian prisoner James Holden are only two of the dangers in a palace thick with intrigue, but Teresa has a mind of her own and secrets even her father, the emperor, doesn't guess. And throughout the wide human empire, the scattered crew of the Rocinante fights a brave rearguard action against Duarte's authoritarian regime. Memory of the old order falls away, and a future under Laconia's eternal rule -- and with it, a battle that humanity can only lose -- seems more and more certain. Because, against the terrors that lie between worlds, courage and ambition will not be enough..."-- Provided by publisher

The ninth and final novel in James S. A. Corey's Hugo Award-winning series brings the decade's biggest SF saga to a stunning conclusion.

In the desolate Adro system, Elvi Okoye leads a critical scientific mission to uncover the truth about the gate builders and their destruction, risking her own safety and that of the half-alien children involved in her research. Meanwhile, Colonel Aliana Tanaka searches for Duarte's missing daughter and the shattered emperor. On the Rocinante, James Holden and his crew strive to forge a new future for humanity from the remnants of the past. As formidable forces threaten to obliterate all human life, Holden and his unlikely allies uncover a final chance to unite humanity, promising a vast galactic civilization free from conflict, lies, and secrets—if they succeed. Yet, the cost of victory may be more devastating than defeat. This thrilling conclusion is a deeply satisfying end to a remarkable space opera series, praised for its compelling characters, engaging dialogue, and high-stakes adventure.

Abaddon's Gate is the third book in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series. For generations, the solar system - Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt - was humanity's great frontier. Until now. The alien artefact working through its program under the clouds of Venus has emerged to build a massive structure outside the orbit of Uranus: a gate that leads into 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 artefact. 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.

Outnumbered and outgunned, the embattled remnants of the old political powers call on the Rocinante for a desperate mission to reach Medina Station at the heart of the gate network. But the new alliances are as flawed as the old, and the struggle for power has only just begun. As the chaos grows, an alien mystery deepens. Pirate fleets, mutiny and betrayal may be the least of the Rocinante's problems. And in the uncanny spaces past the ring gates, the choices of a few damaged and desperate people may determine the fate of more than just humanity.

When the Empire threatens the galaxy's new hope, will Han, Luke, and Leia become its last chance? When the mission is to extract a high-level rebel spy from the very heart of the Empire, Leia Organa knows the best man for the job is Han Solo-something the princess and the smuggler can finally agree on. After all, for a guy who broke into an Imperial cell block and helped destroy the Death Star, the assignment sounds simple enough. But when Han locates the brash rebel agent, Scarlet Hark, she's determined to stay behind enemy lines. A pirate plans to sell a cache of stolen secrets that the Empire would destroy entire worlds to protect-including the planet where Leia is currently meeting with rebel sympathizers. Scarlet wants to track down the thief and steal the bounty herself, and Han has no choice but to go along if he's to keep everyone involved from getting themselves killed. From teeming city streets to a lethal jungle to a trap-filled alien temple, Han, Chewbacca, Leia, and their daring new comrade confront one ambush, double cross, and firestorm after another as they try to keep crucial intel out of Imperial hands. But even with the crack support of Luke Skywalker's x-wing squadron, the Alliance heroes may be hopelessly outgunned in their final battle for the highest of stakes- the power to liberate the galaxy from tyranny or ensure the Empire's reign of darkness forever.

Unser Sonnensystem, die nahe Zukunft: Ein linientreuer Offizier der UN-Weltraumflotte muss zusehen, wie aus einem Kampfeinsatz ein Massaker wird – und er zum Mitschuldigen. Auf dem Mars hat ein Ingenieur eine geniale Idee und testet einen völlig neuen Raumfahrtantrieb – mit ungeahnten Folgen. Und auf einem Planeten jenseits des Sonnensystems versucht ein Gouverneur, Recht und Ordnung herzustellen – und muss erkennen, dass die Zivilisation, die zu bringen er gekommen ist, auf dieser Welt bereits existiert, nur in anderer Form. In den vorliegenden acht Erzählungen kehrt James Corey in das gewaltige Universum von »The Expanse« zurück.

Die Menschheit hat das Sonnensystem kolonisiert. Auf dem Mond, dem Mars, im Asteroidengürtel und noch darüber hinaus gibt es Stationen und werden Rohstoffe abgebaut. Doch die Sterne sind den Menschen bisher verwehrt geblieben. Als James Holden, Kapitän eines kleinen Minenschiffs, ein havariertes Schiff aufbringt, ahnt er nicht, welch gefährliches Geheimnis er in Händen hält – ein Geheimnis, das die Zukunft der ganzen menschlichen Zivilisation für immer verändern wird.

Ein junger Mann überlebt die Eroberung seines Planeten durch die Carryx, eine kriegsverherrlichende Alien-Schwarmintelligenz, als Sklave. Er wird körperlich umgestaltet und erfährt von einer geheimnisvollen Macht, die die Carryx bedroht. Getrieben von Rache plant er, die Carryx auszulöschen, doch er ist bereits einer von ihnen.

Jak na kogoś, kto wcale nie zamierzał naruszać kruchej równowagi sił w Układzie Słonecznym, Jim Holden zrobił to naprawdę porządnie. Choć Ziemia i Mars przestały do siebie strzelać, ich sojusz legł w gruzach. Planety zewnętrzne i Pas nie czują się jeszcze pewnie w świeżo zdobytej być może tymczasowej autonomii. I właśnie wtedy na jednym z księżyców Jowisza atakuje pojedynczy superżołnierz, mordując oddziały Ziemian i Marsjan, na nowo wzbudzając zarzewie wojny. Wszyscy starają się odkryć, czy to zapowiedź ataku obcych, czy też niebezpieczeństwo kryje się znacznie bliżej domu.

Oto nowe pogranicze. Puste mieszkanie, zniknęła rodzina, to niepokojące. Ale tutaj masz pustą bazę wojskową. Myśliwce i czołgi na jałowym biegu na skraju pasa, bez kierowców i pilotów. To nie pachnie dobrze. Stało się tu coś złego. Powinieneś powiedzieć wszystkim, żeby się stąd zabrali. Otwarły się wrota do tysiąca nowych układów gwiezdnych i rozpoczął się wyścig do ich skolonizowania. Z macierzystych planet ludzkości ruszyli osadnicy szukający nowego życia. Ilus, pierwsza ludzka kolonia tego potężnego pogranicza rodzi się we krwi i ogniu. Niezależni osadnicy opierają się przemożnej sile korporacyjnego statku kolonizacyjnego mając po swojej stronie tylko determinację, odwagę i umiejętności nabyte podczas długich wojen w domu. Niewinni naukowcy giną, próbując zbadać nowy, obcy świat. Zmagania na Ilusie grożą dotarciem z powrotem aż na Ziemię. James Holden i załoga jego małego statku zostają wysłani, żeby doprowadzić do pokoju i zaprowadzić porządek pośród chaosu. Jednak im głębiej Holden wchodzi w swoje zadanie, tym większego nabiera przekonania, że jego misja ma się nie udać. A nieustanny szept truposza przypomina mu, że przepadła wielka galaktyczna cywilizacja, która kiedyś zamieszkiwała to miejsce. I że coś ją zabiło.

Od pokoleń Układ Słoneczny Mars, Księżyc, pas asteroidów był pograniczem ludzkości. Aż do teraz. Obcy artefakt wykonujący swój program pod pokrywą chmur Wenus wyłonił się stamtąd, tworząc olbrzymią strukturę poza orbitą Urana: wrota prowadzące w bezgwiezdny mrok. Jim Holden i załoga Rosynanta są elementem wielkiej flotylli statków naukowych i okrętów wojennych wysłanych do zbadania artefaktu. Jednak w ukryciu rozgrywa się skomplikowana intryga, której celem jest zniszczenie Holdena. Podczas gdy emisariusze ludzkości starają się odkryć, czy wrota stanowią okazję, czy zagrożenie, okazuje się, że największe niebezpieczeństwo przywieźli ze sobą. Na całym świecie sprzedano ponad dwa miliony egzemplarzy powieści z serii Expanse i na jej podstawie nakręcono popularny serial telewizyjny.
