Nemesis Games The Expanse Book 5 eBook James S A Corey

Nemesis Games, more than the other books of The Expanse series, is a novel about isolation.
Each of our protagonists from the crew of the Rocinante are separated from one another throughout the bulk of the story, all of them longing to return to the family they realize themselves to be for each other.
In the midst of an insurgency from a radical wing within the OPA (supplied by a treasonous, escapist faction of the Mars Navy), we witness periods of combat and senseless devastation from multiple angles that weren't present in the previous novels with nearly this sort of depth and insight. As an added bonus the reader even gets to witness the grand acts of terrorism from within and without, while not providing anything particularly sympathetic where the terrorists are concerned. It was a bold, and well-executed move by the authors...to humanize the perpetrators of unparalleled acts of aggression without making the reader feel like they might have a valid reason to do the horrible things they are doing.
This was a smaller scale piece of storytelling than the galaxy-spanning, alien technology oriented action of the previous novels, but it was a very satisfying exploration of the inner worlds of the characters we've become so close to over the course of the previous four books.
The end does set the stage for something potentially horrifying coming up though, and it certainly kept me invested enough that I want to read the sixth installment.

Nemesis Games The Expanse Book 5 eBook James S A Corey Reviews

I love the way these guys write. I know that they are stringing readers along and are milking this series for all it's worth, but I don't care. They create a realistic world with true character development--in Nemesis Games, we finally get to know the back stories of Alex, Amos, and Naomi, and Corey makes a villain from a previous volume somewhat sympathetic. The future world is simultaneously optimistic and dystopic. After discovery of the true nature of the Ring and what it has to offer in previous entries, it was hard to imagine anyone being harmed by the endless opportunities created by the Ring. Yet, Corey not only fabricates a plausible reason for opposition, but also a truly villainous plot. Although the story arc is rather unbelievable at times, it does set up well for future entries in this space soap opera.

Specifics about the book (I will avoid spoilers as much as possible) the first half of the book is rather boring and action free. Alex has a few squirmishes that reinforces his bona fides as a bad--ss and the book starts with a mysterious strike on a shipyard that doesn't get explain until 200+ pages later. But the rest of the first half is really all setup and explanation of who the characters are. I have to admit that I put the book down and started reading the Divergent Series, which is an interesting story, but the narrative writing style struck me as freshman HS creative-writing level compared to the crisp narrative of the Expanse series. When I couldn't take anymore of Divergent, I came back to Nemesis Games with a new-found appreciation for the high quality writing of Corey. I really felt like I was on a rapidly depopulating Mars and a decaying overpopulated Earth with many of the same vices and urban problems that hinder us today. Corey's detailed description of these environments, while tedious at time, really brought the varied locations to life.

The work to get through the background--which was tolerable, again, because of the quality of writing and the insights into the rest of the crew--was worth the investment because the action that followed was truly nail-bitter quality. Of course coming down to the final chapters, I began to realize that there was going to be no resolution in this novel. To learn more, I'd have to invest in yet another entry in this series.

Therefore, if you have read the Expanse series to this point, I can recommend Nemesis Games. The criticisms are the large amount of time spent explaining the crew's backstories--which, I believe is worth it to any fan of the series--and the lack of resolution at the end. However, if you are just starting, I recommend starting with the first book in the series, or skipping to the middle of NG. Alternatively if you have read the first 4 books in the series (I lose count, I think this is the fifth), you might consider stopping. The pre-Nemesis Games books are self-contained and provide a nice resolution. You can simply imagine the crew of the Rocinante flying off into the sunset and enjoying the rest of their lives in peace.

As for me, I guess I'm hooked. Corey (the authors who write under this pseudonym) has made the Expanse into a corporate industry, which if they continue the quality of writing, the series can continue indefinitely. For me, as long as the writing is there, I will likely continue flying with the crew of the Rocinante.
I was an avid fan of the tv show and once i found that it wasnt going to be given another season , well at least on syfi . I decided to see if there was an ongoing story in book form . Man am.i damm glad i did . One of the things that pulled me into the show was the very very different personalities of the main characters. These books have taken 4 of the most different types of personalities and melded them into not only a group but a family . Not a family of blood but a family that was chosen . The author captures the meaning of comrades that become your family right from the get and never lets his foot off the gas . Sure sometimes the story slows just as most do but its often only to tell the story better not to just add pages to the book . The author has really came up with a probable scenario of what the universe may look like in the next couple of hundred years . And is very good at getting the technical parts of space travel and living down without over burdening us .I have almost came to the last book and i really hate that i am.now going to have to wait for the new one to come out . If your a fan of sci fi then do yourself a favor and buy this book
