Synopsis
Following the events of Nemesis Games, the self-described Free Navy, made up of belters using stolen military ships, has been growing even bolder. After the crippling attacks on Earth and the Martian Navy, the Free Navy has turned their attention to the colony ships headed for the ring gates and the worlds beyond. The relatively defenseless ships are left to fend for themselves, as neither Earth nor Mars are powerful enough to effectively protect them.
James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are called upon once again by what remains of the UN and Martian governments to go to Medina Station, now in the hands of the Free Navy, in the ring station. On the other side of the rings, an alien threat is growing, the Free Navy may be the least of humanity's problems.
