Description

The third book in the New York Times 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. Now a Prime Original 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.

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

  • Another terrific entry

    This series is one of the best sci-fi space operas around. The world building is so rich and of all the futuristic sci-fi series out there this feels like the most likely direction we are headed. I’m very excited for the future exploration discovered here and there’s some great militaristic action. I wish there had been more chapters from the Roci crew but I’m sure it will pick up in the following entries.

  • Fantastic!

    This story was incredible, it felt as though the main cast were kind of pushed to the side a little more in this one then the first 2. At first I didn’t like that but every chapter that went by I found myself caring more and more for the other characters, I can confidently say Bull is one of my favorite characters of the series so for! This was a great 3rd installment I’m reaching for the next one immediately!

  • Not about the Despoiler

    Naomi’s shoulder is injured, bones fractured. Hours (maybe a day) later she’s able to accept a friendly shoulder pat on her opposite arm. Ok, I can suspend disbelief for magic space medicine, this seems just fine, even though I know in the now-times the amount of damage described would make this unbearable unless you were drugged past lucidity. Hours after that she’s unable to walk comfortably in low gravity with injured arm and shoulder fully bound, indicating she shouldn’t have been able to accept that shoulder pat. Of course, a chapter later, she’s hip deep inside confined spaces overriding ship functions. How⁉︎ If you like lots of inconsistencies across chapters, and books, this is a series for you.

    A continuation of modern epic masterpiece. Fantastic installment of the series and probably my favorite so far. Thought the ending was tremendous and set up for more to come. Can’t wait!

  • Don’t get: missing pages and some are duplicated

    This was quite a slow burn for the first half of the book. Lots of time spent setting things up. However I couldn’t put it down towards the last third. Very satisfying and great setup for the next one.

  • Decent Read
