About this listen
The gates have opened the way to a thousand new worlds and the rush to colonise has begun. Settlers looking for a new life stream out from humanity's home planets. Illus, the first human colony on this vast new frontier, is being born in blood and fire.
Independent settlers stand against the overwhelming power of a corporate colony ship with only their determination, courage and the skills learned in the long wars of home. Innocent scientists are slaughtered as they try to survey a new and alien world.
James Holden and the crew of his one small ship are sent to make peace in the midst of war and sense in the heart of chaos. But the more he looks at it, the more Holden thinks the mission was meant to fail.
And the whispers of a dead man remind him that the great galactic civilisation which once stood on this land is gone. And that something killed them.
Cibola Burn is the exhilarating fourth novel in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series, following the Hugo-nominated Leviathan Wakes, Caliban's War and Abaddon's Gate. ©2014 Ty Franck

Critic reviews
Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be
As close as you'll get to a Hollywood blockbuster in book form
This is the future the way it's supposed to be
Tense and thrilling
Great characters, excellent dialogue, memorable fight scenes
High adventure equalling the best space opera has to offer, cutting-edge technology and a group of unforgettable characters . . . Perhaps one of the best tales the genre has yet to produce
Have you listened to any of Jefferson Mays’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I am delighted that Cibola Burn was re-recorded with Jefferson Mays.Any additional comments?
This audiobook was originally recorded with a different narrator. Hence the many complaints on the site about narration.It appears the complaints worked, and the book was re-recorded with the same narrator as the rest of the series.
Narration problem solved.

Enjoyable episode in expanse universe

- Some new characters are kinda annoying.
- Main characters spend more time apart than together in this one.
- Overall adventure not as epic and with lasting implications as last 3 novels.
+ Plot is misterios, with some surprises and well written for the better part of the story.
+ Narator is stellar as always.
+/- The epilogue gives fresh perspective over the story, however I find myself missing more scenes like this - overarching political intrigue - like in previous instalments.
Would recommend as a bridge for future stories in the series, but nothing more.
tl;dr if you're a fan of The Expanse read it, it's not deal-breaker-bad!
Not as engaging as the first 3 books
