The spacious 9 - Fall of Leviathan

The ninth novel in the "Expanse" series, which achieved the highest sales according to the New York Times, and produced by Syfy Channel as a TV series. The Laconian Empire fell; leaving behind thirteen hundred star systems outside Winston Duarte's rule, but the old enemy who killed the builders of the gates rose from its slumber; to start the war against our universe again. In the dead system of Adro, Elvi Okoye leads a desperate scientific mission to understand who the builders of the gates were and what led to their destruction, even if it requires risking herself and the half-human children who bore the burden of her mission. Across the sprawling human systems, the doctrine Aliana Tanaka searches for Duarte's lost daughter, and for the deposed emperor himself! On board Rosinante, James Holden and his crew struggle to build a future for humanity from the shards and ruins of everything that came before. And while the forces—whose powers are reaching madness—prepare to wipe out the human race; Holden and a group of unexpected allies discover a last desperate chance to unite all humans, with hope for a vast cosmic civilization free of wars, splits, lies, and secrets if they succeed, but the cost of victory may be more terrible than the price of defeat!
