Hugo Award Winner for Best Series
 
Auberon is one of the first and most important colony worlds in humanity's reach, and the new conquering faction has come to claim it. Governor Rittenaur has come to bring civilization and order to the far outpost and guarantee the wealth and power of the Empire.
 
But Auberon already has its own history, a complex culture, and a criminal kingpin named Erich with very different plans. In a world of deceit, violence, and corruption, the greatest danger Rittenaur faces is love.

Series:

  • "Corey deftly weaves multiple points of view to create a dense and colorful tapestry of political intrigue, personal relationships, and sophisticated technology that bursts with action but also delivers an introspective view of the characters as they age and reflect on their purpose and the value of their lives."
    Booklist (starred review) on Tiamat's Wrath
  • "A standout tale of violence, intrigue, ambition, and hope. ... Corey cranks up the tension relentlessly in this fast-paced story of heroes and rebels fighting for freedom. With enough thrills and intrigue for three Hollywood blockbusters, the novel stands alone nicely, making it easy for new readers as well as diehard series fans to dive right in."
    Publishers Weekly on Nemesis Games
  • "The science fictional equivalent of A Song of Ice and Fire...only with fewer beheadings and way more spaceships."
    NPR Books on Cibola Burn
  • "Combining an exploration of real human frailties with big SF ideas and exciting thriller action, Corey cements the series as must-read space opera."
    Library Journal (starred review) on Cibola Burn
  • "The Expanse series is the best space opera series running at full tilt right now, and Cibola Burn continues that streak of excellence."
    io9 on Cibola Burn
  • "Corey's splendid fourth Expanse novel blends adventure with uncommon decency."
    Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Cibola Burn
  • "A politically complex and pulse-pounding page-turner.... Corey perfectly balances character development with action... series fans will find this installment the best yet."
    Publishers Weekly on Abaddon's Gate
  • "It'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 Wakes
  • "An excellent space operatic debut in the grand tradition of Peter F. Hamilton."
    Charles Stross on Leviathan Wakes
  • "High 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 authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck should reawaken an interest in old-fashioned storytelling and cinematic pacing. Highly recommended."
    Library Journal (starred review) on Abaddon's Gate
  • "Literary space opera at its absolute best."
    io9 on Abaddon's Gate
  • "[T]he authors are superb with the exciting bits: Shipboard coups and battles are a thrill to follow."
    Washington Post on Abaddon's Gate
  • "Riveting interplanetary thriller."
