The third book in the best-selling series, which sold ten million copies, won a Hugo Award, and inspired a six-season television series.
The Protomolecule, a substance of extraterrestrial origin, is capable of controlling and transforming organic matter. Billions of years ago, it was launched into the Solar System with the goal of reshaping Earth's biosphere, which at the time consisted of single-celled organisms. But it never reached Earth, becoming stranded on a moon of Saturn, where it was only recently discovered by a Martian expedition.
The Protomolecule destroyed thousands of people on Eros and nearly wiped out the entire population of Mars, then, hiding under the clouds of Venus, spent almost a year constructing something. And now, the artifact it created has reappeared in orbit around Uranus. This gigantic Ringworld, a portal into starless darkness. John Holden's Rocinante, along with a large fleet of ships, sets out to investigate a mysterious object. Does the Ring represent humanity's greatest opportunity or a mortal threat?
But while scientists, military personnel, and journalists try to answer this question, Holden and his crew face a far more serious danger.
