If you loved how Nemesis Games thrust its characters into urgent, high-stakes missions—like Holden’s desperate quest to keep the Rocinante flying and Naomi’s struggle to survive and save her son—you’ll connect with the relentless pursuit and life-or-death stakes in Leviathan Wakes. This novel centers on the hunt for a missing woman, which quickly spirals into a galaxy-shaking mission, blending personal stakes with the fate of humanity.

If you enjoyed the way Nemesis Games dives into the lives and perspectives of the full Rocinante crew—splitting up Naomi, Amos, Alex, and Holden for individual arcs—Ninefox Gambit will hook you with its own formidable ensemble. From the mathematical genius Kel Cheris to the unpredictable undead tactician Shuos Jedao, this book thrives on group dynamics, shifting loyalties, and the interplay between diverse, compelling characters.

If you were drawn to the raw, personal journeys in Nemesis Games—like Naomi facing her past and Amos confronting his origins—you’ll be gripped by Takeshi Kovacs’ transformation in Altered Carbon. Kovacs is forced to reckon with his own motivations and trauma as he navigates a brutal future, evolving in unexpected ways through action, self-discovery, and the consequences of his choices.

The sweeping, galaxy-spanning events of Nemesis Games—with plotlines stretching from Earth to the Outer Planets—are echoed in Dune. Here, you’ll experience the rise and fall of empires, shifting alliances, and the collision of vast cultures, all set against the backdrop of an epic struggle for survival and power across time and space.

If you liked how Nemesis Games put you inside the heads of Naomi, Amos, Alex, and Holden—each with their own voice and agency—you’ll love The Collapsing Empire. Scalzi builds his interstellar story through multiple points of view, letting you experience intrigue, crisis, and humor through a cast of sharply distinct, memorable characters.
