Reader reviews for Caliban's War

Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.39 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.39 / 5 (178061 total reviews)

Readers widely consider Caliban’s War a stronger, more cohesive sequel, praising the shift to multiple POVs and the standout additions of Chrisjen Avasarala and Bobbie Draper. The book’s brisk pacing, gripping set pieces, sharp political maneuvering, and immersive solar-system worldbuilding drew consistent acclaim, with humor and crew chemistry noted as added strengths. Some critiques targeted Holden’s rougher arc, Prax’s uneven chapters, a familiar rescue-driven structure, and functional prose, yet the consensus frames it as an exciting, character-forward installment that builds momentum and ends on a compelling hook.

Readers say this book is:

From the publisher

With over 10 million copies sold, The Expanse has become one of the biggest science fiction phenomenons of the decade.

The second book in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series, Caliban's War shows a solar system on the brink of war, and the only hope of peace rests on James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante's shoulders. Now a Prime Original series.

We are not alone. On Ganymede, breadbasket of the outer planets, a Martian marine watches as her platoon is slaughtered by a monstrous supersoldier. On Earth, a high-level politician struggles to prevent interplanetary war from reigniting. And on Venus, an alien protomolecule has overrun the planet, wreaking massive, mysterious changes and threatening to spread out into the solar system.

In the vast wilderness of space, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante have been keeping the peace for the Outer Planets Alliance. When they agree to help a scientist search war-torn Ganymede for a missing child, the future of humanity rests on whether a single ship can prevent an alien invasion that may have already begun . . .
