Nemesis Games

In Cibola Burn, the crew of the Rocinante spent most of their time on one of the planets opened by the gate constructed by the protomolecule. In this one, they return to space, but due to damage done to the ship in CB, the crew is grounded for repairs in the first half of the book. For differing reasons, all of the crew members take leave in different parts of the solar system, leaving Holden back on Ceres station overseeing repairs. Then all hades breaks loose. There's really not much else I can say without major spoilers.

I will say, if you've enjoyed the series up to this point, this book does not disappoint. There is a ton of action, intrigue, and more than a little mystery.

In my opinion, the key of this series is the masterful way in which the authors mix all of the action and yet fantastically build characters. In this novel in particular, you really see huge character development in all of the major characters you already know.

(As an aside... I've not watched any of the TV show, though I've generally heard good things about it. Anybody care to comment on it based on having read the books? Is it worthwhile?)
