Autor James S. A. Coreyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 iun 2014
Poarta a deschis accesul la mii de noi lumi, iar cursa pentru colonizarea acestora a început.
Illus, prima colonie umană este născută din sânge și foc.
Coloniștii independenți rezistă împotriva puterii copleșitoare a unei nave-corporație doar prin determinare, curaj și abilități învățate în lungile războaie de pe Terra și Marte.
Oamenii de știință sunt primele victime ale acestei lumi necunoscute.
Jim Holden șî echipajul său de pe o mică navă sunt trimiși să facă pace în mijlocul războiului și în inima haosului.
Dar cu cât își apropie pașii de obiectivul misiunii sale, Jim Holden începe să se gândească este destinată eșecului.
Șoaptele unui om decedat îi reamintește că marea civilizație galactică este doar o amintire și că cineva necunoscut i-a dus la pierire.

Recenzii
"The science fictional equivalent ofA Song of Ice and Fire... only with fewer beheadings andwaymore spaceships."—NPR Books on Cibola Burn
"Combining an exploration of real human frailties with big SF ideas and exciting thriller action, Corey cements the series as must-read space opera."—Library Journal on Cibola Burn (Starred Review)
"The Expanse is the best space opera series running at full tilt right now, andCibola Burncontinues that streak of excellence."—io9 on Cibola Burn
"A politically complex and pulse-pounding page-turner.... Corey perfectly balances character development with action... series fans will find this installment the best yet."—Publishers Weekly on Abaddon's Gate
"An excellent space operatic debut in the grand tradition of Peter F. Hamilton."—Charles Stross on Leviathan Wakes
"High adventure equaling the best space opera has to offer, cutting-edge technology, and a group of unforgettable characters bring the third installment of Corey's epic space drama (after Caliban's War and Leviathan Wakes) to an action-filled close while leaving room for more stories to unfold. Perhaps one of the best tales the genre has yet to produce, this superb collaboration between fantasy author Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck should reawaken an interest in old-fashioned storytelling and cinematic pacing. Highly recommended."—Library Journal on Abaddon's Gate
"Literary space opera at its absolute best."—io9.com on Abaddon's Gate
"[T]he authors are superb with the exciting bits: Shipboard coups and battles are a thrill to follow."—Washington Post on Abaddon's Gate
"Riveting interplanetary thriller."—Publishers Weekly on Leviathan Wakes
Descriere
The 4th book in the space opera series, which began with the Hugo-nominated "Leviathan Wakes". The gate has opened to a thousand new worlds, and the rush to colonise has begun.
The gates have opened the way to a thousand new worlds and the rush to colonise has begun. Settlers looking for a new life stream out from humanity's home planets. Illus, the first human colony on this vast new frontier, is being born in blood and fire.
Independent settlers stand against the overwhelming power of a corporate colony ship with only their determination, courage and the skills learned in the long wars of home. Innocent scientists are slaughtered as they try to survey a new and alien world.
James Holden and the crew of his one small ship are sent to make peace in the midst of war and sense in the heart of chaos. But the more he looks at it, the more Holden thinks the mission was meant to fail.
And the whispers of a dead man remind him that the great galactic civilisation which once stood on this land is gone. And that something killed them.
Cibola Burn is the exhilarating fourth novel in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series, following the Hugo-nominated Leviathan Wakes, Caliban's War and Abaddon's Gate.
