Publisher’s Summary
This is how it ends. Leviathan Falls is the explosive final novel in the New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award–winning Expanse series, now a major TV series.
The Laconian Empire has fallen, setting the thirteen hundred solar systems free from the rule of Winston Duarte. But the ancient enemy that killed the gate builders is awake, and the war against our universe has begun again.
In the dead system of Adro, Elvi Okoye leads a desperate scientific mission to understand what the gate builders were and what destroyed them, even if it means compromising herself and the half-alien children who bear the weight of
her investigation. Through the wide-flung systems of humanity, Colonel Aliana Tanaka hunts for Duarte’s missing daughter … and the shattered emperor himself.
And on the Rocinante, James Holden and his crew struggle to build a future for humanity out of the shards and ruins of all that has come before.
As nearly unimaginable forces prepare to annihilate all human life, Holden and a group of unlikely allies discover a last, desperate chance to unite all of humanity, with the promise of a vast galactic civilization free from wars, factions, lies, and secrets if they win.
But the price of victory may be worse than the cost of defeat.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “A great finish to the arc of the story and chars”
It must be challenging to meet expectations finishing a grand series like this. It was done satisfyingly well. The characters and physics stayed true to form, which is a relief. Some authors would feel compelled to amp up the alien magic to 11 for such a finale, but this remained – as always – a story about being human, grit and all.— R. Smith, Audible listener
4/5 stars — “Good he finished it”
Honestly the story for a little wired toward the end. It must be hard to end a long series like this. I think is was pretty good though. Narrator finished it off well. There was strange changes on voice types throughout that was odd. Not sure if that was intentional.— Jeff, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Perfect Ending to a Classic Story”
Exactly what I wanted without even knowing. Perfect series finale of a remarkable story. Rarely, does an epilogue bring such joy!— KevinWriter, Audible listener
