| Why it’s on the list | The fourth Expanse novel: with a thousand new systems open, settlers reach a habitable world ahead of the company holding the legal charter for it, and the book is the resulting fight over jurisdiction on a frontier where nobody has standing to adjudicate anything. The land-rights-and-no-operator volume of the series. |
