The eighth and supposedly penultimate volume in the planned nine volume series, Tiamat's Wrath concludes the two-book arc involving Winston Duarte and the Laconians, aka the deserting Martians. Duarte has set himself up as a sort of immortal god-emperor on Laconia, and the protomolecule tech has made them well-nigh unstoppable. The pace shifts in this installment; Naomi and Jim are separated and both working their version of the long-game, Alex and Bobbie are on their own ship, and Amos is lost to all of them. All the main characters are more or less on their own, and there isn't a lot of hope that things are going to get better.
Bobbie and Alex have a plan though, and Naomi is quietly leading the resistance. A good, strong part of the series.
