Kim Lord is an avant-garde figure, feminist icon, and agent provocateur in the L.A. art scene. Her groundbreaking new exhibition Still Lives is comprised of self-portraits depicting herself as famous, murdered women--the Black Dahlia, Chandra Levy, Nicole Brown Simpson, among many others--and the works are as compelling as they are disturbing, implicating a culture that is too accustomed to violence against women. As the city's richest art patrons pour into the Rocque Museum's opening night, all the staff, including editor Maggie Richter, hope the event will be enough to save the historic institution's flailing finances. Except Kim Lord never shows up to her own gala. Fear mounts as the hours and days drag on and Lord remains missing.

In the fourth installment of the bestselling Expanse series, the crew of the Rocinante faces a new frontier as the rush to colonize new planets spirals into chaos and potential conflict. The gates to a thousand worlds have opened, and settlers eager for new beginnings flood out from humanity's home planets. However, the first human colony on this frontier, Ilus, is born amidst violence and turmoil. Independent settlers clash with a powerful corporate colony ship, relying solely on their determination and skills honed during past wars. As innocent scientists are killed while surveying this alien world, the struggle on Ilus threatens to reverberate back to Earth. James Holden and his crew are dispatched to restore peace amid the chaos, but Holden suspects their mission is destined to fail. He is haunted by the memory of a dead man, reminding him of the once-great galactic civilization that existed on this land and the mysterious forces that led to its demise. The narrative explores themes of survival, conflict, and the dark legacy of colonization as the characters navigate a treacherous landscape filled with uncertainty and danger.

Abaddon's Gate is the third book in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series. 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.

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 . . . Caliban's War is a breakneck science fiction adventure following the critically acclaimed Leviathan Wakes.
