Více o knize

The biggest science fiction series of the decade reaches a stunning conclusion in this ninth and final novel of James S.A. Corey's Hugo-award winning space opera. The Laconian Empire has collapsed, liberating thirteen hundred solar systems from Winston Duarte's rule. However, an ancient enemy that once annihilated the gate builders has awakened, reigniting war against our universe. In the desolate system of Adro, Elvi Okoye spearheads a perilous scientific mission to uncover the truth about the gate builders and their destruction, risking her own safety and that of half-alien children involved in her research. Across the vast expanse of human systems, Colonel Aliana Tanaka searches for Duarte's missing daughter and the shattered emperor. Meanwhile, on the Rocinante, James Holden and his crew strive to forge a future for humanity from the remnants of the past. As overwhelming forces threaten to obliterate all human life, Holden and a band of unlikely allies uncover a final, desperate opportunity to unite humanity, promising a galactic civilization free from conflict and deception—if they succeed. Yet, the cost of victory may prove more devastating than defeat.
