Persepolis Rising

Persepolis Rising is the seventh riveting novel in the New York Times bestselling and Hugo-award winning Expanse series by James S. A. Corey, now a captivating Prime Original TV series. In the expansive thousand-sun network of humanity's burgeoning colony worlds, new planets teeter precariously between collapse and wonder. The crew of the ageing gunship Rocinante finds their hands more than full as they strive to maintain the fragile peace amidst these worlds. Meanwhile, in the vast space stretching from Earth to Jupiter, the inner planets and the Belt have forged a tentative and uncertain alliance. This alliance, however, is still shadowed by the echoes of past wars and deep-seated prejudices. On the seemingly lost colony world of Laconia, a hidden enemy emerges with a bold new vision for all of humanity—and the unrivaled power to enforce it. As new advanced technologies collide with the old, the long-standing history of human conflict reverts to its ancient patterns of war and subjugation. Yet, human nature is not the only adversary. As unimaginable forces are unleashed, they exact a harrowing price that will irrevocably alter the future of humanity—and the destiny of the Rocinante crew—forever. The Expanse series has established itself as the definitive science fiction epic of the last decade, renowned for its gripping narrative and compelling characters. Now, as a major TV series, its reach continues to expand.
