Humanity has finally gone through a gate and settled on the first world in another solar system, but the settlers are being classed as illegal squatters by the corporation that believes the planet to be legally there's.  So when the corporation ship turns up with the intention of taking everything away from the settlers, the settlers have a surprise waiting for them and all hell breaks loose. Avasaralla thinks it'll be a great idea to send Holden to mediate and sort things out, because she thinks Holden will make such a disaster of it that it'll scare everyone back in Sol system away from leaving for other new worlds. And on top of all this, or maybe because of all this, the planet is waking up from its billion year slumber. While that all sounds really good, which it is, the telling of this story just drags on and on and on and on.  This book would have been way, way better if it had lost a few hundred pages.  And on top of all that, it's a really depressing story from beginning to end, showing up Homo sapiens at their very worse. It was so tedious i kept on having to take breaks and read three whole books just to break this up into manageable chunks of depressive dragging on. Let's hope the next one, Nemesis Games, is better, eh? If you've read even a handful of my other reviews, you're likely aware that I am not predisposed to read much a series of novels. I usually get two or three into them, and I've sated my curiosity and am ready to move on to something else. But The Expanse series is the exception. I so enjoyed Cibola Burn that I am probably just going to go straight into [b:Nemesis Games|22886612|Nemesis Games (Expanse, #5)|James S.A.

Woof, it took me most of the year to get through this because suddenly, I wasn't making long 3 hour round trips for work anymore (left that job for other reasons besides a global pandemic, but anyway...) While not as narratively strong as earlier books, this had all sorts of fun xenozoology to make my heart sing. I've been watching the television adaptation first, so it's interesting to go back later to the source material and see how much more depth there is in some aspects (versus where the show makes additions from other material to bring Bobbie and Avasarala's lines in). Really appreciated the connections to previous books with Basia and Lucia (parents of Katoa, Mei's unfortunate protomolecule-infected friend) and Havelock (Miller's old Ceres station Earther work partner), and looking forward to where it goes next. I'll try to be more timely on my audiobook listens, though... keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:The fourth book in the NYT bestselling Expanse series, Cibola Burn sees the crew of the Rocinante on a new frontier, as the rush to colonize the new planets threatens to outrun law and order and give way to war and chaos. Now a Prime Original series. HUGO AWARD WINNER FOR BEST SERIES Enter a new frontier. â?? "An empty apartment, a missing family, that's creepy. But this is like finding a military base with no one on it. Fighters and tanks idling on the runway with no drivers. This is bad juju. Something wrong happened here. What you should do is tell everyone to leave." The gates have opened the way to a thousand new worlds and the rush to colonize has begun. Settlers looking for a new life stream out from humanity's home planets. Ilus, the first human colony on this vast new frontier, is being born in blood and fire. Independent settlers stand against the overwhelming power of a corporate colony ship with only their determination, courage, and the skills learned in the long wars of home. Innocent scientists are slaughtered as they try to survey a new and alien world. The struggle on Ilus threatens to spread all the way back to Earth. James Holden and the crew of his one small ship are sent to make peace in the midst of war and sense in the midst of chaos. But the more he looks at it, the more Holden thinks the mission was meant to fail. And the whispers of a dead man remind him that the great galactic civilization that once stood on this land is gone. And that something killed it.
