Amazon Prime Video’s acclaimed sci-fi series The Expanse has captivated audiences, and fans of the franchise will be thrilled to know that a new saga by James S.A. Corey has begun. The Captive’s War series kicked off this week with the release of its first novel, The Mercy of Gods, now available in hardcover for $27 (previously $30).
For those seeking digital formats, the Kindle edition is priced at $15, while the Audible audiobook can be purchased for $12 (down from $17) or accessed with an Audible Credit for Premium Plus subscribers.
The Mercy of Gods presents a darker, more menacing narrative than The Expanse, set in a galaxy ravaged by the alien Carryx, who have decimated civilizations and enslaved entire species. As the Carryx face an overwhelming enemy, they enlist the help of humans. The story follows the protagonist, Dafyd Alkhor, a scientist’s assistant who must navigate a terrifying war against formidable foes.
This 432-page novel promises thought-provoking sci-fi themes interwoven with intricate human interactions, reminiscent of Corey’s established work. Early reviews applaud the compelling nature of The Mercy of Gods, solidifying its status as a must-read for fans.
Additionally, readers can preorder the first novella in The Captive’s War series, titled Livesuit, for just $3 ahead of its anticipated release on October 1, which will be available exclusively in digital format.
For those yet to delve into The Expanse, there are remarkable deals, including a box set of the first three novels for only $28 (down from $50). The complete set in paperback is available for $106. Furthermore, all six seasons of The Expanse are currently available for streaming with an Amazon Prime membership, and the complete series on Blu-ray is discounted to $61 (originally $80).
