Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt.

A secret that someone is willing to kill for—and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew. War is brewing in …

Humanity has colonized the solar system—Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyond—but the stars are still out of our reach.

Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When the trail leads him to the Scopuli and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything.

Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporations—and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe.

Not very exciting...

2,0 stars

For me, this was a frontier western story in space, and I was not sure why I should be interested. It made me question the whole premise of 'humanity conquers the solar system/universe' science fiction. Why would humanity settle Mars and the Asteroid Belt to begin with, and why would society change so little in that process?

If you like mystery, violence, horror and want it set in space, this might just be your thing; it did not appeal to me.

Hard Science Fiction. Creeping Horror!

5,0 stars

It has been a long time since a piece of text made my mind grow cold from horror. "Leviathan Wakes" with regard to Mr. Dresden did just that. Magnificent!

Best Book I've Read in a While

5,0 stars

A compelling space opera with hits of noir, thriller, and horror. Very CIShet for what I normally read, but really good. Fastest I've finished a book of this size in ages.

Really fun sci-fi romp! I caught lots of flavors of books and authors I've already read, leaving it occasionally feeling derivative, and that, combined with a very TV-series plot arc kept this from being mind-blowing for me, but I still really enjoyed it and I'm sure I'll be picking up the next.

Truly fantastic book, I enjoyed it thoroughly. One of the best pieces of sci-fi I've read in years. I spent many late nights on this story.
I bought it because I liked the series, and I'm SO glad I did!
