A special edition hardcover that celebrates the fifth book in the NYT bestselling and Hugo award-winning Expanse series — a modern masterwork of science fiction with over 10 million copies sold worldwide. Nemesis Games drives the crew of the Rocinante apart, and as they struggle to survive, the inner planets fall victim to an enemy’s catastrophic plan.  

This special edition hardcover includes: 
  • A striking new cover
  • Stained edges and illustrated endpapers
  • A reversible cover that features the full, uncropped artwork of the original cover art

HUGO AWARD WINNER FOR BEST SERIES

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.

Nemesis Games is a breakneck science fiction adventure following the bestselling Cibola Burn.

Series:

  • The Expanse

James S. A. Corey is the pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. In addition to writing the novels and short stories of The Expanse, they wrote and produced the television series of the same name. Daniel lives with his family in the American southwest. Ty will tell you where he lives when and if he wants you to come over.

  • "A standout tale of violence, intrigue, ambition, and hope. ... Corey cranks up the tension relentlessly in this fast-paced story of heroes and rebels fighting for freedom. With enough thrills and intrigue for three Hollywood blockbusters, the novel stands alone nicely, making it easy for new readers as well as diehard series fans to dive right in."
    Publishers Weekly on Nemesis Games
  • "The science fictional equivalent of A Song of Ice and Fire...only with fewer beheadings and way more spaceships."
    NPR Books on Cibola Burn
  • "Combining an exploration of real human frailties with big sf ideas and exciting thriller action, Corey cements the series as must-read space opera."
    Library Journal (starred review) on Cibola Burn
  • "The Expanse series is the best space opera series running at full tilt right now, and Cibola Burn continues that streak of excellence."
    io9 on Cibola Burn
  • "Corey's splendid fourth Expanse novel blends adventure with uncommon decency."
    Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Cibola Burn
  • "A politically complex and pulse-pounding page-turner.... Corey perfectly balances character development with action... series fans will find this installment the best yet."
    Publishers Weekly on Abaddon's Gate
  • "It's been too long since we've had a really kickass space opera. LEVIATHAN WAKES is interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written, the kind of SF that made me fall in love with the genre way back when, seasoned with a dollop of horror and a dash of noir. Jimmy Corey writes with the energy of a brash newcomer and the polish of a seasoned pro. So where's the second book?"
    George R.R. Martin on Leviathan Wakes
  • "An excellent space operatic debut in the grand tradition of Peter F. Hamilton."
    Charles Stross on Leviathan Wakes
  • "High adventure equaling the best space opera has to offer, cutting-edge technology, and a group of unforgettable characters bring the third installment of Corey's epic space drama (after Caliban's War and Leviathan Wakes) to an action-filled close while leaving room for more stories to unfold. Perhaps one of the best tales the genre has yet to produce, this superb collaboration between fantasy author Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck should reawaken an interest in old-fashioned storytelling and cinematic pacing. Highly recommended."
    Library Journal on Abaddon's Gate
  • "Literary space opera at its absolute best."
    io9.com on Abaddon's Gate
  • "[T]he authors are superb with the exciting bits: Shipboard coups and battles are a thrill to follow."
    Washington Post on Abaddon's Gate
  • "Riveting interplanetary thriller."
    Publishers Weekly on Leviathan Wakes
