A fractured solar system, a struggle over the gates

In the sixth Expanse novel, the Free Navy’s attacks leave Earth damaged and colony ships exposed across the outer planets. With the established political powers weakened, Holden and the Rocinante are drawn into a mission to Medina Station, a strategic hub in the alien ring-gate network. The crisis links immediate questions of protection and military power to a wider contest over who will shape the new worlds beyond the gates. New alliances offer little certainty, keeping the conflict focused on the unstable balance between old authorities and emerging forces.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers following the Expanse series, especially after Nemesis Games.
  • For science-fiction readers interested in interplanetary conflict, political upheaval, and colonization beyond Earth.

Book overview

With over 10 million copies sold, The Expanse has become one of the biggest science fiction phenomenons of the decade.

The sixth book in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series, Babylon's Ashes has the galaxy in full revolution and it's up to the crew of the Rocinante to make a desperate mission to the gate network and thin hope of victory. Now a Prime Original series.


A revolution brewing for generations has begun in fire. It will end in blood. The Free Navy--a violent group of Belters in black-market military ships--has crippled the Earth and begun a campaign of piracy and violence among the outer planets. The colony ships heading for the thousand new worlds on the far side of the alien ring gates are easy prey, and no single navy remains strong enough to protect them.

James Holden and his crew know the strengths and weaknesses of this new force better than anyone. Outnumbered and outgunned, the embattled remnants of the old political powers call on the Rocinante for a desperate mission to reach Medina Station at the heart of the gate network. But the new alliances are as flawed as the old, and the struggle for power has only just begun.

Babylon's Ashes is a breakneck science fiction adventure following the bestselling Nemesis Games.

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