Synopsis

As humanity enters an unprecedented era of expansion, with a thousand new worlds opened through the Ring Gates, the established power dynamics of the solar system begin to fracture under the weight of a massive colonial land-rush. Old political structures buckle, leading to a new age of instability marked by mysterious ship disappearances, the rise of private armies, and the audacious theft of the last remaining protomolecule sample. The fragile peace shatters when devastating terrorist attacks bring the inner planets to their knees, forcing humanity to confront the ghosts of its violent past. Amidst this unfolding chaos and the struggle to forge a new human order, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante find themselves scattered and fighting for their lives, desperately trying to reunite and return to the only home they have left, even as the future of civilization hangs in the balance.
