About this listen

In the thousand-sun network of humanity's expansion, new colony worlds are struggling to find their way. Every new planet lives on a knife-edge between collapse and wonder, and the crew of the aging gunship, Rocinante, have their hands more than full keeping the fragile peace.

In the vast space between Earth and Jupiter, the inner planets and the Belt have formed a tentative and uncertain alliance still haunted by a history of wars and prejudices. On the lost colony world of Laconia, a hidden enemy has a new vision for all of humanity and the power to enforce it. New technologies clash with old as the history of human conflict returns to its ancient pattern of war and subjugation. But human nature is not the only enemy, and the forces being unleashed have their own price. A price that will change the shape of humanity - and of the Rocinante - unexpectedly and forever....

Jefferson Mays learn how to pronounce the word "gimbal" you should know better, it's annoying.

Wasn't too sure when it set out whether I was going to enjoy this or not but damn so interested to see where this goes! Great book, great narrator as always! And a great addition to the series

Still loving this series

When this first started, I didn’t like the time jump or the main protagonists being a lot older. I stuck with it and was soon taken along for an enjoyable story once again. Wonderful voice work as ever.
So once I was over the jolt at the start and my disappointment of the team not working on a few missions together, it was a well crafted story. My only nitpick is having another big bad guy (although not as obvious in this book) who has delusions of grandeur (again...). But still 5 stars overall.

I had to give this some time to enjoy...
