"Somehow both incredibly upsetting and wonderfully satisfying. This brought all my favorite characters back to the page and even a few I didn't know I wanted to see again!"

"Nice return to form after Cibola Burn's clunker storyline."

"The Expanse is one of my all time favorite series and Nemesis Games is probably my favorite book in the series. This book almost exclusively focuses on the crew of the Roci and you get to learn more about who they are and how they got to where they are. Throughly enjoyed this book."

"And they all come tumbling down. <br/><br/>A thousand worlds have opened, and the greatest land rush in human history has begun. As wave after wave of colonists leave, the power structures of the old solar system begin to buckle. Ships are disappearing without a trace. Private armies are being secretly formed. The sole remaining protomolecule sample is stolen. Terrorist attacks previously considered impossible bring the inner planets to their knees. The sins of the past are returning to exact a terrible price. And as a new human order is struggling to be born in blood and fire, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante must struggle to survive and get back to the only home they have left. <br/><br/>Well that was quite the ride. I’m liking Avarasala so much -- I realize she’s just a side character that, despite being a major power in and of herself, just pops up for flavor, but I really love her. Someone who knew I’d just started the book described it to me as ‘Corey throwing a wrench in the works.’ GOOD description. This may be my favorite one since Leviathan Wakes."

"This book was a significant improvement over [b:Cibola Burn|18656030|Cibola Burn (Expanse, #4)|James S.A. Corey|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1405023040s/18656030.jpg|26109318], which removed itself entirely from the politics of the solar system for too long. The only thing really wrong with this book is that the next one wasn't available to start into when it ended.<br/><br/>This book is notable because it follows each of the crew of the <i>Roci</i> and includes some of their backstory. I've been eyeing the separate books available in this universe that seem to provide backstory for different characters individually, but have avoided them simply because they didn't seem like they would move the main story forward. Now I see that there might be something there worth looking into more.<br/><br/>I'm looking forward to book #6, when it ever lands. I can't wait to see what SyFy does with IP in December."
