Die Galaxis mit Hunderten intelligenter Lebensformen lebt seit langem unter der Aufsicht des galaktischen Rates in Frieden. Kriegerische Handlungen werden nicht geduldet und von der Sanktionsflotte hart bestraft. Alle Spezies, die Raumfahrt betreiben wollen, haben sich den Regeln unterzuordnen oder sie werden in ihrem System isoliert. Ein Volk hat sich entschlossen, diese Isolation freiwillig auf sich zu nehmen - ausgerechnet die älteste und technologisch fortgeschrittenste Zivilisation will sich nicht unter die Aufsicht des Rates stellen.

Die Menschheit hat das Sonnensystem kolonisiert. Auf dem Mond, dem Mars, im Asteroidengürtel - überall gibt es Kolonien und werden Rohstoffe abgebaut. Doch noch ist das Sonnensystem die Grenze. Als der Kapitän eines kleinen Minenschiffs einen havarierten Frachter aufbringt, ahnt er nicht, welch gefährliches Geheimnis er in Händen hält - ein Geheimnis, das die Zukunft der ganzen menschlichen Zivilisation für immer verändern wird.

Das fulminante Finale der Science-Fiction-Erfolgsserie bekannt durch die Verfilmung von Amazon Prime. Wie kämpft man gegen einen scheinbar unbesiegbaren Gegner? Das Sonnensystem wurde von der mit Alien-Technologie aufgerüsteten Raumflotte erobert, und Duarte, der alleinige Herrscher unzähliger Welten, betrachtet sich selbst als neue Stufe der Evolution. Doch noch ist die Menschheit nicht am Ende – Kapitän James Holden und die Crew der Rosinante haben bereits einen Plan.

The Laconian Empire has fallen, setting the 1,300 solar systems free from the rule of Winston Duarte. But the ancient enemy that killed the gate builders is awake, and the war against our universe has begun again.

Two Syndicate World star systems have fallen prey to a mysterious fleet of warships - a fleet controlled entirely by artificial intelligence - that is now targeting Alliance space. The warships are no mystery to Geary. They were developed by his government to ensure security but malfunctioned. If the Syndics learn the truth, the war with the Alliance will resume with a vengeance.

Trapped in Ga'ee space, Leviathan runs for its life. And the lives of its crew. Declan Payne and Harry Wesson decide to go on the offensive. They have no choice. They can't go home. It only delays the inevitable. The Ga'ee march relentlessly into the space of the seven races while turning an inward eye toward the interloper, the ship they call God1. They direct tens of thousands of Ga'ee carriers to destroy Leviathan. The silicon-based life forms have to be stopped. Declan Payne comes up with a plan, and no one is sold on it, but it's the only plan they have.

Aliens are seizing planets at the edge of Berantz space. Earth Fleet sends an armada to investigate. They're never heard from again. Word reaches the Vestrall home planet of the encroachment. Declan Payne knows what has to be done—convince Leviathan to investigate. Peace through superior firepower, through the threat of annihilation. But Lev is retired. And so is Payne and his team. The choice is taken out of their hands.

The Blaze are getting their direction and technology from those who had driven the Progenitors from the galaxy. The Vestrall. Leviathan takes his select humans to the frontlines in Earth's war with the Blaze Collective to collect intelligence on where to find the Vestrall. The Blaze aren't forthcoming. They go farther, a thousand light-years behind enemy lines to a planet that used to be important. It's no longer the home of the Vestrall, but of a biomechanical race that is little more than drones.

The Vestrall fight back, but Leviathan stands in their way. And Major Payne opens a new front in the war. His goal is nothing less than turning the Vestrall's allies against them to bring peace to the galaxy. The Vestrall exist, and they have secrets. The war will continue because it suits them. Humanity must confront the real enemy. They must win or the war will continue for another thousand years. There's only one ship that can do what needs to be done.

A derelict warship, ancient but still alive. A small team of humans fighting for all humanity. Built for a time when the races were just finding their way to the stars, finding that they could dominate others. The galactic conquests created the arms race and the ancients, the Progenitors had to protect their own. They built a ship to drive the others away.
