The Story Unfolds

"Persepolis Rising," the seventh book in The Expanse series, takes place several years after the events of its predecessor, "Babylon's Ashes." The story opens with James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante facing a tumultuous world plagued by political unrest and power struggles.

The once mighty empire of the Laconian government has risen to power, establishing its control over multiple planets and moons. Led by Winston Duarte, the Laconians are armed with a powerful new technology that threatens to tip the balance of power in the colonized solar system.

Holden, forever the hero and beacon of hope, finds himself caught in the middle of this brewing conflict. With the crew scattered across different corners of the galaxy, it's up to him to reunite them and mount a resistance against the Laconians.

As you delve deeper into "Persepolis Rising," you'll uncover shocking secrets, encounter exciting new characters, and witness electrifying battles. Corey's masterful storytelling will keep you on the edge of your seat, flipping page after page, eager to uncover what's next.

A Darker Tone

While "Persepolis Rising" continues to explore the grandiosity of space, it takes a darker turn compared to previous entries in The Expanse series. Corey delves deep into the psychology of his characters, exposing their vulnerabilities and testing their limits in ways that will leave readers reeling.

With the Laconians firmly in control, Corey examines the consequences of power and the fine line between order and tyranny. The moral complexities and ethical dilemmas faced by the characters will challenge your own beliefs, making the narrative all the more engaging.

The Long-Awaited Reunion

One of the most tantalizing aspects of "Persepolis Rising" is the long-awaited reunion of the Rocinante crew. As Holden navigates through treacherous terrain, you'll find yourself yearning for the band of misfits to come together once more.

Holden's unwavering determination and the unwavering bond between the crew members will tug at your heartstrings as they find their way back to each other. The emotional depth of their relationships, forged through trials and tribulations, will leave you with a genuine sense of connection.

Takeaways and Impact

"Persepolis Rising" is not just another space opera; it's a thought-provoking examination of power, loyalty, and the human condition. As you follow the characters on their journey, you'll be forced to reflect on your own values and question the nature of authority.

The Expanse series, and "Persepolis Rising" specifically, stands as a testament to the power of science fiction. It challenges us to imagine worlds beyond our own and explore the complexities that lie within us.

So, whether you're a longtime fan of The Expanse or new to Corey's captivating universe, "Persepolis Rising" is a must-read.

The seventh book in the NYT bestselling Expanse series, Persepolis Rising finds an old enemy returning home with more power and technology than anyone thought possible, and the crew of the aging gunship Rocinante tries to rally forces against the new invasion. Now a Prime Original series. 

HUGO AWARD WINNER FOR BEST SERIES

An old enemy returns.

In the thousand-sun network of humanity's expansion, new colony worlds are struggling to find their way. Every new planet lives on a knife edge between collapse and wonder, and the crew of the aging gunship Rocinante have their hands more than full keeping the fragile peace.

In the vast space between Earth and Jupiter, the inner planets and belt have formed a tentative and uncertain alliance still haunted by a history of wars and prejudices. On the lost colony world of Laconia, a hidden enemy has a new vision for all of humanity and the power to enforce it.

New technologies clash with old as the history of human conflict returns to its ancient patterns of war and subjugation. But human nature is not the only enemy, and the forces being unleashed have their own price. A price that will change the shape of humanity -- and of the Rocinante -- unexpectedly and forever. . .
