Cibola Burn – James S. A. Corey
The frontiers of space exploration extend beyond the alien gateway as humanity ventures into the uncharted territories of the new worlds beyond the rings. A frontier colony is established on a planet named Ilus, brimming with the promise of untold resources and a new beginning for the human race.
However, the newfound optimism quickly gives way to tension as old conflicts resurface and power struggles emerge. The settlers, Earthers, Belters, and Martians, find themselves embroiled in a battle for control over Ilus, raising the stakes and threatening the fragile peace that has barely held in the solar system.
Against this backdrop, tensions escalate both on the planet’s surface and in the vastness of space. Once again, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are drawn into a maelstrom of political intrigue, corporate greed, and the unpredictable forces unleashed by the protomolecule.
