NOW A PRIME ORIGINAL TV SERIES Nemesis Games is the fifth book in the New York Times bestselling and Hugo-award winning Expanse series, written by James S. A. Corey. A thousand wor lds have opened, and the greatest land-rush in human history has begun. As wave after wave of colonists leave the solar system to settle new planets, the established power structures of the inner planets and the Belt begin to buckle under the pressure. The stability maintained by the delicate balance of powers is on the brink of collapse. Ships are mysteriously disappearing without a trace, and private armies are being covertly formed. Meanwhile, the sole remaining protomolecule sample is stolen by unknown entities. Simultaneously, terrorist attacks previously thought unfeasible bring the inner planets to their knees. The sins of the past are returning with a vengeance, threatening the fragile peace and stability of the solar system. As a new human order struggles to be born in the midst of chaos, blood, and fire, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante face their own battles. Stranded and separated, they must overcome personal and galactic adversities to reunite and survive, striving to return to the only home they have left—the Rocinante. The Expanse series is the biggest science fiction phenomenon of the last decade and has been brilliantly adapted into a major TV series.
