For generations, the solar system — Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt — was humanity's great frontier. Until now. The alien artifact working through its program under the clouds of Venus has appeared in Uranus's orbit, where it has built a massive gate that leads to a starless dark.

Jim Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are part of a vast flotilla of scientific and military ships going out to examine the artifact. But behind the scenes, a complex plot is unfolding, with the destruction of Holden at its core. As the emissaries of the human race try to find whether the gate is an opportunity or a threat, the greatest danger is the one they brought with them.

A pivotal point in the series with lots of low and zero-g action, but I'm looking forward to reunions

The sci-fi plot point in this third volume of the series is the most grand, and now that I live in Utah, I can't believe a space opera Mormon-built long-haul intergalactic ark doesn't get more press here, but as I crank through this reread, so far I see each book defined by the new characters it introduces. This one features an interesting lot, but I found myself missing ones from the previous book (in the TV show you get more continuous screen presence). But there's always Miller Time.
