Abaddon's Gate

Abaddon's Gate est le troisième volume de de la saga de science-fiction The Expanse signée James S.A. Corey, le nom de plume du duo composé des auteurs Daniel Abraham et Ty Franck. A ce jour, il s'agit du dernier roman adapté dans la série TV tirée de cette saga, les trois premières saisons diffusées couvrant globalement les trois premiers romans du cycle.

Le récit reprend là où Caliban's War, le précédent volume, s'achevait :

For generations, the solar system – Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt – was humanity's great frontier. Until now. The alien artefact working through its program under the clouds of Venus has emerged to build a massive structure outside the orbit of Uranus: a gate that leads into 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 artefact. 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.
