Title

In Babylonian mythology, Tiamat is a participant in the creation of the universe. This book series uses historical references for its titles.[1]

Premise

Following the successful establishment of an interstellar empire, High Consul Winston Duarte pursues the evolution of human life through the use of the "protomolecule" that has driven galactic exploration. James Holden, former captain of the gunship Rocinante and a protagonist of the previous novels in the series, is Duarte's captive. While Duarte's scientists explore the uses of the protomolecule, the surviving members of the Rocinante's crew work to free humanity from Duarte's dominion.[2][3][4]

Characters

Main characters in the book include many from earlier in the series, including James Holden, Naomi Nagata, Bobbie Draper, Alex Kamal, Elvi Okoye, and Winston Duarte. The book introduces Duarte's 14-year-old daughter, Teresa, who is being trained as his successor.[2][4]

gollark: <@236628809158230018> I can understand not knowing things or not knowing where the manual is, but some silly triangles refuse to read perfectly good docs.
gollark: I generally don't optimize far enough to do that sort of thing, but I do like to at least try and not waste memory and too many CPU cycles.
gollark: It's a bit wasteful to go creating a bunch of tables and functions and iterate over the entire list of peripherals and whatnot every peripheral call.
gollark: In the case when it does error performance isn't a huge issue. If it doesn't, it does matter if it is slow.
