Books like Abaddon’s Gate by James S. A. Corey


In "Abaddon’s Gate," the human frontier of the solar system—Mars, the Moon, the asteroid belt—collides with a mysterious alien artifact. After drifting out of operation near Venus, the construct appears in Uranus’s orbit, creating a colossal portal to a darkness devoid of stars. Jim Holden and the crew of the Rocinante join an expedition aimed at uncovering the mysteries of the artifact and determining whether the new gateway poses a danger or offers unprecedented opportunity for humanity. They remain unaware of a superior intelligence orchestrating a covert plot to eliminate Holden and anyone else who might unveil what should stay hidden. The greatest peril may lie closer to home than anticipated. This book continues the series that has reshaped modern science‑fiction, guiding readers on a forward‑looking journey unlike any other.
