Skip 30 years, Holden is looking forward to retiring with Nagata, Draper is easing into the roll of captain, and the Laconians are back in the action as Duarte shoulders the burden of being humanity's god emperor! 

The scale of the Expanse universe is still impressive. The characters are great and have grown over the last 30 years. This book sets up the final conflict with the Laconians, the protomolecule, and whatever aliens killed off the protomolecule's creators.

Martian rebels return from their self-sequestration with unfathomable technology with the goal to conquest humanity - the ring gates and all the connecting solar systems. The three major powers,  Earth, Mars, and the newly created Transportation Union, unite to resist takeover, but at what cost?

****all spoilers****

Kicks off with a doomed gig to disciple an unruly colony and ends on the very same colony except now everyone is war torn!
I read this book non stop for a week and cried twice. I don’t even cry with books. 

The 30 year time jump was handled well enough - wish there was more hinting at what we missed in the inbetween years but it wasn’t completely missing
