“Babylon’s Ashes” is book no. 6 in the series “The Expanse” – a huge Space Opera series of the finest kind. A must if you like Space Opera.
The series should be read in order of publication.
“Babylon’s Ashes” picks up where “Nemesis Games” (no. 5 in the series) left off. It continues the story of James Holden and his crew in the Rocinante – and all the other major players we have gotten to know in the previous books.
This instalment is centred in the solar system, the belt, outlying moons and space stations. War and politics take precedence over scientific discoveries.
But as usual it is the consequences of war and politics for the people (important and just normal) and how they react to those consequences that take centre stage here.
The scope of this series is huge. The books are large. The development of the plot and characters very interesting and solid.
