general secretary Avasarala sends Holden and his crew, hoping in some ways they will cause an issue that nobody will be happy with. So how does one prevent such an intrusive clampdown after finally finding some autonomy? By blowing up the landing pad, and accidentally while the RCE shuttle is attempting to land. This new venture, a way to take back what was owed to them after the negligent destruction of their home, their way of life, and the second-largest breadbasket in the system is immediately threatened by the Royal Charter Energy, a company given the mineral rights to the planet, named New Terra, by the U.N. They are scraping a living out of the depths of Ilus, a planet inconceivably rich in the rare metal lithium. Immediately, the reader is thrown into the lives of refugees from the destruction of Ganymede. It doesn’t take long, though, for the story to begin in earnest, as the small events are bookended by the massive implications that the gates hold in store. With a whole galaxy and hundreds of planets at their disposal, humans are setting out in search of new lives, no longer immediately confined to the dead rocks they are attempting to bring to life. Cibola Burn is a quieter opening, following Bobbie as she starts to see Mars empty itself.
Something is off within the solar system, and humanity has started to pick at the seams with a fervor of an impatient child. The first three Expanse books open with a bombastic prologue. Recommended chapters for Act 1: Prologue – Chapter 15 You could also read them after you’ve finished the particular range of chapters while everything is still fresh in your mind, but that gives us too much credit. These pieces will heavily feature spoilers for the story, so we very much recommend you do not read them until you have finished the book. We’ll place a disclaimer at the top for each of these, but the review will be spoiler-free. If you are new to The Expanse or haven’t gotten this far in the series yet, these reread sections are not for you. Finally, we will review the book at the end of the week. We will also talk about the implications of Cibola on the larger Expanse series.
We will break this reread into three parts to discuss the various acts of the book, its themes, and the statements it makes. Hi all, and welcome to The Quill to Live and Orbit reread of Cibola Burn – the 4th book of one of the best space operas to grace the page, The Expanse.
