About the book
The Expanse and Altered Carbon collide in this fast-paced sci-fi thriller where achieving immortality is within reach, yet one's identity, gender, and sense of self are at risk...
When Carter Langston is killed while salvaging a deserted spacecraft, it poses a major problem as he is resurrected in a fresh body on a space station light-years away from where he last backed up. However, chaos ensues when an assassin infiltrates the medbay and attempts to eliminate him.
In a world where death is no longer final for a humanity that has colonized the entire solar system, individuals can transfer their consciousness into a new body or "coil" immediately after dying, granting them the possibility of eternal life. However, Carter's supposedly secure backups have been compromised, his crew is missing, and all signs point to the abandoned vessel that was meant to be a routine salvage mission.
As adversaries close in on him, Carter joins forces with his sole surviving crew member - now re-coiled into a body she despises after death - to uncover a sinister enigma that jeopardizes the very fabric of humanity and its understanding of self.
