And they all come tumbling down. 
 A thousand worlds have opened, and the greatest land rush in human history has begun. As wave after wave of colonists leave, the power structures of the old solar system begin to buckle. Ships are disappearing without a trace. Private armies are being secretly formed. The sole remaining protomolecule sample is stolen. Terrorist attacks previously considered impossible bring the inner planets to their knees. The sins of the past are returning to exact a terrible price. And as a new human order is struggling to be born in blood and fire, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante must struggle to survive and get back to the only home they have left. 
 Well that was quite the ride. I'm liking Avarasala so much -- I realize she's just a side character that, despite being a major power in and of herself, just pops up for flavor, but I really love her. Someone who knew I'd just started the book described it to me as 'Corey throwing a wrench in the works.' GOOD description. This may be my favorite one since Leviathan Wakes.
