The plan goes awry and Holden has to manually set off alarms to maintain the distraction, which results in his capture.

#The expanse books summary install
The Laconians send out a message announcing the end of their self-imposed exile before sending an enormous new battleship called 'Heart of the Tempest' through their gate to capture Medina station and install a new governor. They have spent their time in the Laconia system building an advanced fleet using leftover technology from the protomolecule creators. No one has heard from Admiral Duarte and his rogue fleet in the thirty years since they broke away from the Martian Congressional Republic Navy, until now. After receiving a morally dubious order from Camina Drummer, who now leads the Transport Union, Holden and Naomi decide to retire and hand over the Rocinante's captaincy to Bobbie. The crew of the aging gunship Rocinante are still together, working contracts for the Transport Union, who have control of the Ring station and the 1,300 worlds the gates lead to. Twenty-eight years have passed since the events of Babylon's Ashes and Earth is back on its feet after the attack that crippled the planet in Nemesis Games.
The title of the novel was announced in September 2016 and the cover was revealed on December 12, 2016.
