Space. Book 8. The Wrath of Tiamat

Hundreds and hundreds of portals to the Galaxy opened around the Solar System. But while humanity builds its interstellar empire on foreign ruins, mysteries and dangers only multiply.

On the dead planets, Elvi Okoje is trying to unravel the nature of the genocide that raged long before the first human was born and to obtain weapons to fight an enemy whose power is truly unimaginable. But will the price of her discoveries be too high?

Emperor Duarte, who fancies himself almost a god, is preparing to conquer the remaining part of the Galaxy. While James Holden languishes in captivity, the crew of the 'Rocinante' enters into a secret struggle against the authoritarian regime. For if Duarte triumphs, humanity will not escape war with a new opponent – with no chance of victory.
