About the book

With over 10 million copies sold, The Expanse has become one of the biggest science fiction phenomenons of the decade. The sixth book in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series, Babylon's Ashes has the galaxy in full revolution and it's up to the crew of the Rocinante to make a desperate mission to the gate network and thin hope of victory. Now a Prime Original series. A revolution brewing for generations has begun in fire. It will end in blood. The Free Navy—a violent group of Belters in black-market military ships—has crippled the Earth and begun a campaign of piracy and violence among the outer planets. The colony ships heading for the thousand new worlds on the far side of the alien ring gates are easy prey, and no single navy remains strong enough to protect them.
