Nemesis Games – James S. A. Corey

The solar system stands on the precipice of chaos. As tensions escalate between Earth, Mars, and the Belt, the crew of the Rocinante finds themselves scattered across the system, each facing personal challenges that will test their loyalties and resilience.

When a devastating attack rocks Earth, leaving millions dead and entire cities in ruins, the fragile peace that has held the system together shatters. In the aftermath, the crew members of the Rocinante—Holden, Naomi, Amos, and Alex—must confront their own demons and navigate the unpredictable landscape of a solar system teetering on the brink of all-out war.

As dark secrets are unearthed and the true nature of the protomolecule becomes more apparent, old wounds are reopened, and new threats emerge. The narrative weaves together the personal journeys of the Rocinante crew with the broader political and scientific intrigue, creating a compelling story that explores the consequences of humanity’s reach into the cosmos.
