Synopsis

This is how it ends. Leviathan Falls is the explosive final novel in the New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award–winning Expanse series, now a major TV series.

The Laconian Empire has fallen, setting the thirteen hundred 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.

In the dead system of Adro, Elvi Okoye leads a desperate scientific mission to understand what the gate builders were and what destroyed them, even if it means compromising herself and the half-alien children who bear the weight of
her investigation. Through the wide-flung systems of humanity, Colonel Aliana Tanaka hunts for Duarte’s missing daughter … and the shattered emperor himself.

And on the Rocinante, James Holden and his crew struggle to build a future for humanity out of the shards and ruins of all that has come before.

As nearly unimaginable forces prepare to annihilate all human life, Holden and a group of unlikely allies discover a last, desperate chance to unite all of humanity, with the promise of a vast galactic civilization free from wars, factions, lies, and secrets if they win.

But the price of victory may be worse than the cost of defeat.

Goodreads review by JD on March 31, 2023

Leviathan Falls is... difficult to sum up. The ninth book in The Expanse series has been a long time coming and stands as a remarkable achievement regardless of quality. With that said, and as someone who's followed this series from the third novel, Falls is also the most boring 'epic conclusion' to......more

Goodreads review by Mario the lone bookwolf on January 29, 2023

We´re not just nothing in the endlessness of space We also don´t know anything about the sheer potential that could have already been unleashed In other worlds, including self destruction options. That´s the extremely satisfying and thereby hard sci fi part that explains both the protomolecule and t......more

Goodreads review by Jamie on December 23, 2021

It's hard to imagine this final installment being any more satisfying. The whole epic story arc comes full circle in the most gratifying of ways, with a return to the Roci and the original crew confronting overwhelming odds in a bid to unite humanity and save it from the unknown. And, of course, fro......more

Goodreads review by Durham on December 04, 2021

Giving it one star because it hasn’t been released yet. You gotta earn 5 stars ‘round these parts. EDIT: I’ll bump it up to three stars while I finish it just to appease all the salty trolls who are dragging me. EDIT 2: Wow. Possibly the most satisfying conclusion to a long running series I have ever......more
