Babylon’s Ashes

James S. A. Corey

2016

7

A tiny step back from the heart-stopping drama of Nemesis Games, but a great continuation of the action here. It's nice to get Marco and Naomi's relationship, and in turn, Filip, fleshed out a bit more, and to see how the authors paint the picture of the political and human aftermath of the rocks hitting Earth. The end feels slightly like a cop-out, but they do a good job of building up the "erasing" of the Free Navy throughout to where it doesn't feel out-of-nowhere.
