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.

Happy to be back to The Expanse and the Rocinante crew! After binging the series I knew I couldn't wait until season 5 drops because I adore these characters so so much. Leviathan Wakes is a great start to this outstanding series.
