Nemesis Games. Ashes of Babylon

The opening of distant worlds has led to the greatest expansion in human history. Adventure seekers are embarking on journeys by the thousands in search of a better life, while the foundations of power in the Solar System are under threat. Many colonist ships disappear without a trace. Powerful military forces are being secretly formed. The last sample of the protomolecule has been stolen. Terrorist attacks are keeping the inner planets in fear. The sins of the past are returning, exacting a heavy toll. While a new order is established in fire and blood, James Holden and the crew of the ‘Rocinante’ are forced to fight to survive and return to the only home they have left.
The decades-old revolution of the Belt has begun in fire. It will end in blood. The Free Fleet—a radical group of belters—has inflicted irreparable damage on Earth and is now waging a pirate war among the outer planets of the Solar System. Heading to thousands of new worlds beyond the gates, the colonists have become easy prey, and there are no ships strong enough to protect them. James Holden's crew knows better than anyone the advantages and weaknesses of the Free Fleet. The remnants of the old political forces, outnumbered and outgunned, are calling on the ‘Rocinante’, entrusting it with a desperate mission: to reach the ‘Medina’ station in the heart of the ring gate network. However, this new alliance is also vulnerable, and the struggle for power is just beginning.
This collection also includes a new translation of the novella ‘Foreign Dogs’.
