In Babylon's Ashes, did you enjoy ...

... a clear, urgent mission driving the action?

Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey

If you were hooked by the relentless drive to stop Marco Inaros and save the system in Babylon's Ashes, you'll be just as gripped by the urgent search for Julie Mao and the race to understand the protomolecule in Leviathan Wakes. This book keeps the stakes sky-high and the objective clear, making every page feel vital.

... a large, diverse cast of point-of-view characters?

The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

If you enjoyed following Naomi, Holden, Drummer, and the rest as their stories collided and intertwined in Babylon's Ashes, you'll love meeting the Wayfarer's crew in The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. Every character gets their moment to shine, and their relationships and backgrounds are just as compelling and varied.

... the sweeping, galaxy-spanning conflicts and high stakes?

Consider Phlebas by Iain Banks

If the vast scale of war—Belters, Martians, Earthers, and the fate of the Solar System—drew you into Babylon's Ashes, then Consider Phlebas will deliver even more. Banks crafts a sprawling interstellar conflict between the Culture and the Idirans, with massive battles, shifting alliances, and worlds on the brink.

... politically charged power struggles and conspiracies?

Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee

If you were fascinated by the maneuvering of Avasarala, the rise of Drummer, and the chaos of shifting alliances in Babylon's Ashes, you'll be entranced by the deadly games of power in Ninefox Gambit. The battle for control within the hexarchate is every bit as intricate and ruthless.

... protagonists with complex, sometimes questionable ethics?

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan

If you appreciated the morally gray decisions of Holden, Naomi, and even Marco in Babylon's Ashes, you'll find Takeshi Kovacs in Altered Carbon a compelling lead. His choices are never simple, and the line between hero and villain is always blurred in this gritty, high-tech noir.
