Leviathan Falls

Leviathan Falls, the ninth and final instalment of James S. A. Corey's Hugo Award-winning Expanse series, brings the biggest science fiction saga of the decade to an incredible conclusion.

The Laconian Empire has been overthrown, liberating the thirteen hundred solar systems from the despotic rule of Winston Duarte. Yet, liberation comes with a tremendous cost. Humanity's ancient and dire enemy, the force responsible for eradicating the gate builders, has reawakened. The very existence of the universe is now at stake.

In the desolate system of Adro, Elvi Okoye spearheads a perilous scientific mission to uncover the mysteries behind the gate builders and their destroyers, even if it risks her own moral integrity and the lives of the half-alien children integral to her research. Meanwhile, across the scattered human-inhabited systems, Colonel Aliana Tanaka embarks on a relentless pursuit of Duarte’s missing daughter and the fractured emperor himself.

Aboard the Rocinante, James Holden and his loyal crew grapple with the monumental task of forging a future from the remnants of humanity's past glories and catastrophes. Facing near-impossible odds, Holden joins forces with a diverse array of unexpected allies to harness one last chance for unity. Their dream: a vast, peaceful galactic civilisation, free from wars, deceit, and division. But the steep cost of victory could surpass the grim price of defeat.

This epic conclusion promises a rollercoaster of emotions and adventures, wrapping up a series that has redefined space opera.
