​It’s the 23rd century. Humans have spread across the solar system, and we’ve brought all our baggage with us. Earth, ruled by the UN, is overpopulated and authoritarian. Mars is a hardened, fiercely independent military power. The peoples of the Asteroid Belt and Outer Planets toil to supply the Inners with water and minerals. The Outer Planets Alliance fights for Belter independence, sometimes with only tools left to the desperate: violence and terror. The system walks a tightrope made of razor wire, and as we bicker and rattle our nuclear-tipped sabres, something alien stirs. Julie Mao, the daughter of Jules-Pierre Mao, the most powerful man in the solar system, has vanished without a trace. The molten remains of the Donnager, the flagship and pride of the Martian Navy, float through the void after an impossible ambush. The ‘legitimate salvage’ Rocinante and its motley crew of Earther, Martian, and Belter alike, is hell-bent on uncovering the truth behind the chaos. Within this committee, the characters steering the future of the system, be they soldiers, diplomats, executives, rebels, or schemers, must unravel the greatest conspiracy the human race has ever known: the unlocking of an alien protomolecule that could reshape life as we know it, or end it entirely. The balance is fragile, and anything is possible. Broker peace, ignite the flames of interplanetary war, or shape humanity’s next evolution. So, strap in, all, and prepare to flip and burn. Trust me, you’ll need it.
