"The Expanse series is renowned for its fantastic saga, rich set of well-developed characters, and of course, hard sci-fi. Nemesis Games, book 5 of the series, does not disappoint. I prefer the audiobook format because the reader, Jefferson Mays, unfolds the action, and voices the characters, in a manner that adds yet another rich layer of enjoyment. "

— Publishers Weekly on Abaddon's GateIt's been too long since we've had a really kickass space opera. LEVIATHAN WAKES is interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written, the kind of SF that made me fall in love with the genre way back when, seasoned with a dollop of horror and a dash of noir. Jimmy Corey writes with the energy of a brash newcomer and the polish of a seasoned pro. So where's the second book?
— George R.R. Martin on Leviathan WakesAn excellent space operatic debut in the grand tradition of Peter F. Hamilton.
— Charles Stross on Leviathan WakesHigh adventure equaling the best space opera has to offer, cutting-edge technology, and a group of unforgettable characters bring the third installment of Corey's epic space drama (after Caliban's War and Leviathan Wakes) to an action-filled close while leaving room for more stories to unfold. Perhaps one of the best tales the genre has yet to produce, this superb collaboration between fantasy author Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck should reawaken an interest in old-fashioned storytelling and cinematic pacing. Highly recommended.
— Library Journal on Abaddon's GateLiterary space opera at its absolute best.
