It hasn’t even been three years since James S.A. Corey—also known as Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck—published Leviathan Falls, the final novel of the Expanse. It feels longer, somehow. But three years is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to wait for the followup. The Mercy of Gods arrives as the first of a trilogy, and it also arrives with enough stellar worldbuilding, moral complexity, and high-stakes human drama to make a person wish this series would be nine books long as well.

Who was Amon Ra? Amon Ra, also known as Amun-Ra, was one of the most significant deities in ancient Egyptian mythology. He was a combination of two gods, Amun and Ra. Amun started as a local god of Thebes, while Ra was the sun god. When Thebes became a powerful city, Amun merged with Ra, creating Amon Ra, the king of gods. He represented the sun, creation, and life itself. Temples dedicated to him, like the Karnak Temple, were grand and majestic. Pharaohs often claimed to be his descendants, linking their rule to divine authority. Amon Ra's influence extended beyond Egypt, impacting cultures and religions across the ancient world.
