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... I can't even begin to express how much I love this series. Right now it easily my favorite series in any genre going. A big giant space opera with lots of great characters. A central mystery that passes through every novel and yet the satisfaction of always getting to have a sparkling conclusion to the current book. Holden and his crew entertain me. I care about them. I can't wait to see what is next. It helps a lot that the books have been regular. The once a year pace allows me to keep on top of the series. Sometimes when it takes a while to get the next book I don't always jump right back in. This is not one of those series. I can't wait for the next one. If you like action, space opera, hard science fiction, sprinkled with humor and a kick ass story. This series is for you. TW/CW: Violence, sexual situations, brutality, murder, scary situations RATING: 5/5 REVIEW: Cibola Burn is the fourth installment in James S. A. Corey’s Expanse series. It follows the crew of the Rocinante as James Holden is called to a distant planet to serve as a mediator between the squatters who live there and the corporate interests who protest the squatters’ presence. This is one of my favorite books in the series (so far). I love the setting on a foreign planet with entirely new species and people, and the surprises and challenges that face not just Holden and his crew, but all of the people involved. I’m also very interested to see what comes of what Proto!Miller discovers here. This series is definitely one of the best sci-fi I’ve ever read. I tend to prefer fantasy very slightly over science fiction, but this book definitely lives up to the hype. I recommend this series to fans of sci-fi anywhere, and also just people looking for an exciting, thought-provoking series. The rush to colonise planets beyond the Ring gate has begun, and inevitably conflict has arisen. Holden and the crew of the Rocinante have been "requested" jointly by Avasarala and Fred Johnson to investigate on a "fact finding" basis. But you know Holden; can't ever resist getting involved. And when problems on the planet start with some ill-advised minor terrorism that goes badly wrong, and then escalate; and just as the escalation is getting serious, artefacts left behind by the Ring-building civilization begin to wake up, things just stumble from one disaster to the next. Once more, there are interesting differences between book and tv series. Quite a few of them stem from a need to give lead actors something to do when their character doesn't have such a major role in the novel for a good proportion of it - a problem authors don't have. But this doesn't result in major dislocations in either novel or tv show: both are sufficiently well-made to avoid this sort of problem, and it makes for interesting reading to see how the two differ. Of particular interest is that the novel re-introduces Havelock, Miller's buddy from Star Helix security on Ceres in Leviathan Wakes as head of shipboard security for the company team sent to enforce possession of the planet. The tv show omitted this character altogether. Also, the tv show has the climax, where Holden and Miller de-activate the artefact, transferred to deep underneath the planet instead of five hundred miles away (and deep under the planet). Another example of the sort of changes necessary to make coherent television. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

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.

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.
