Nemesis Games
Nemesis Games | James S.A. Corey
The fifth novel in James S.A. Corey's New York Times bestselling Expanse series. Now a Syfy Original series, coming December 2015! A thousand worlds have opened, and the greatest land rush in human history has begun. As wave after wave of colonists leave, the power structures of the old solar system begin to buckle. Ships are disappearing without a trace. Private armies are being secretly formed. The sole remaining protomolecule sample is stolen. Terrorist attacks previously considered impossible bring the inner planets to their knees. The sins of the past are returning to exact a terrible price. And as a new human order is struggling to be born in blood and fire, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante must struggle to survive and get back to the only home they have left.

I found it interesting that only now do we get these perspectives that we see in this book. Also holy crap it blows the status quo right outta the water.

And that's my fourth bingo... #BookSpinBingo

You know, when I complained about Cibola Burn being a little too much like the status quo not changing at all, I didn't expect the answer to be... well... this. Holy cow.

I have no cool about this book. It hits differently on a reread but the focus on consequences and showing the Roci crew directly (rather than through Jim) just leaves me with all the feelings every time. Plus the emphasis on our human need to relate to the world by creating narratives; and showing us the narratives these four create to cope.

Just finished book 5 today! 🎉🎊🎉 I love this series so much, I actually think it's one of my fave sci-fi series ever! 🚀❤ I love how intense and action packed each book is, as well as heartwarming and filled with excellent character development and found family dynamics! Each book has a big HOLY SHIT! moment that always takes me by surprise and has me racing to the end, and this was no exception! 💕📚💕

Another great entry in the series. This book is full of action, and the stakes couldn‘t be more dire. Really excited to tackle the next book (and for the final season of the show).

Just finished book five of the Expanse series (I forgot to post a review of book four). This one was exceptionally tense, as a rogue faction of the OPA takes action against the powers that be. Worse still, the crew of the Rocinante are separated when things get dire. Everyone is in serious jeopardy at some point. I couldn't stop when this one ended; the next book is downloaded and ready to go. What will happen next?

Just finished up book 5 of the Expanse series in anticipation of the upcoming TV season on Amazon. These books are just some of the best sci-fi story telling I've read in a long time. Every time I pick up the next book I have trouble putting it down.

Okay so I sped through the back half of this faster than I thought considering how long it took for me to read the first. I think this was my least favorite installment so far but the end picked up enough for me to be glad I read it. I‘m very interested in where this world is heading.

Simon is offering me some moral support as I try to get back into The Expanse. I had to take a break from this installment because I just wasn‘t feeling it. Hopefully I can push past it and finish it quickly now that I‘ve had a few other books under my belt.

Everything about this book was in line with where this series has been going and can‘t be faulted for leaving the epic protomolecule behind for an equally epic inner planets storyline. This is 31/2 stories in one with super backstory development that, like I said doesn‘t feel out of place. Yet, like the Empire Strikes Back, when this comes to the end you really only feel set up for the next one- certainly not a bad thing at all!

After 16 hours of #audiobook goodness, I‘m back loving #TheExpanse. Book #4 seriously discouraged me, but this installment has restored my faith. Surprisingly, I liked how the crew of the Rocinante split up allowing us to learn more about some back stories. Need to get on some of the novellas too for more character development. Loving this world again so much that I‘m planning on finishing this series in 2020, assuming book #9 releases this year.

Started audiobook 5 of The Expanse two days ago. Liking it much more than #4 in series. Actually just started watching season 4 of show and I‘m optimistic that TV producers might improve upon the book...words I never really thought I‘d put out into the universe.

imyril Book Four drove me to despair - so frustrating! ...but Nemesis Games is my joint favourite of the series. Hopefully it keeps working for you :) 4y
DogMomIrene @imyril That's such great news! I stopped reading after 3 because I didn't want to listen to a different narrator. When they got Jefferson Mays to read book 4, I was so thrilled, but followed by despairing disappointment. Watching the show has made me remember how much I love the characters, so YES, so excited that 5 is your fave! 4y

I had a fun essay to write for my Library Management class today! Pick a literary character that you consider to be a leader and discuss what qualities make them one. I chose James Holden from the Expanse series because he always rises to the occasion and handles tough decisions, even if he necessarily doesn't want to be the one in charge.

Which character would you guys choose and why? 💕📚

DaveGreen7777 She may not exactly be considered a leader, but I immediately thought of Nynaeve from the Wheel of Time series! While her role as a Wisdom in her village is more of a consultant than that of an official leader, it always stood out to me how she takes it upon herself to go after the missing villagers and try to protect them, even putting herself at risk to save them. She may have not been elected a leader, but Nynaeve certainly acts like one! 5y
Branwen @DaveGreen7777 You know what, friend? YOU ARE SO RIGHT! I didn't even think of Nynaeve for this, but now that you bring it up she really is such a perfect choice! I love how she always seeks to protect her 'villagers' even if it means becoming an Aes Sedai to do it! 😍💕 5y

My weekend #readathon totals were lower than I hoped for, just 8 hours 20 minutes for #24in48 and 12 hours 55 minutes for #24B4Monday. However, I did finish a couple of books, including this one, the best one yet of the 5 I‘ve read from the incredible Expanse series!

This book flew by. It took me longer than usual to finish it simply because I didn‘t have as much time to spend reading as I usually do, but the story seemed to fly by. Despite being over 500 pages, it felt short. If I had to describe it, I‘d say it‘s a mid-series reset. All of the rules have been changed, the pieces rearranged.

Most disappointing #bookmail ever. WTF, man, WTF. What happened to book 5? Why do publishers do this? It's just so aesthetically unpleasant. I could get over the title to author to title switch but the size change is just awful. And they are all about the same number of pages so that's not the issue.

As soon as I got to the second chapter and saw that all the perspectives would be from the members of the crew, I knew things were about to go very, very wrong for everyone. I definitely nailed it with that guess. I like that these books explore how humanity changes but also fails to change in the face of incredible discoveries. This book really got to the heart of that theme. It was stressful all the way through, but in the best possible way.
