Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey

Leviathan Wakes (Expanse, #1)

by James S. A. Corey

Humanity has colonized the planets—interstellar travel is still beyond our reach, but the solar system has become a dense network of colonies. But there are tensions—the mineral-rich outer planets resent their dependence on Earth and Mars and the political and military clout they wield over the Belt and beyond.

Now, when Captain Jim Holden's ice miner stumbles across a derelict, abandoned ship, he uncovers a secret that threatens to throw the entire system into war. Attacked by a stealth ship belonging to the Mars fleet, Holden must find a way to uncover the motives behind the attack, stop a war and find the truth behind a vast conspiracy that threatens the entire human race.

Finally! I don't know why it took me so long to finish this book* because it is brilliant. I've already seen the first two seasons of the show and I'm a huge fan of it. Naturally, I was curious enough to check out the material it is based on, and I wasn't disappointed. This book covers Holden & Miller's perpectives of what happens in the first two seasons. I'm very curious to find out what the next book will be like.

* (I do actually: I read to much at work to read a lot at home).
