Babylon's Ashes by James S.A. Corey

5.0

Did I tell you it was worth the wait?

It was. And so much more.
Where do I begin? If you've read the previous books, you might now what looms over. The Free Navy just attacked Earth and reduced it to a wasteland. Based out of Luna, Earth and Mars plan a unified counter attack against the OPA. And when you bring James Holden into the picture, you can be pretty sure something is going to go wrong.

I forgot how much I missed the Rocinante and her crew. Reading about Naomi, Alex, Jim, Amos and Mai threatened to make my eyes water. I missssseeeed them. Marko, who single handledly almost wiped out Earth in a pre-emptive strike in the last book has suddenly changed to a commander in chief who has no idea what strategies are. I hated the fact that the writers didn't make him more menacing. The space needs villains.

Meanwhile the Martian Duarte who started the whole war of terrorism is behind one of those unchartered gates preparing something undoubtedly nefarious. And then there's the protomolecule. The next book looks interesting already.

so much excite!
