I really liked this story because it was a nice mix of genres without being so hardcore that it alienates other genre readers. It's a little sci fi, a little horror, a little space opera, a little mystery.....it's all these things and comes together to just plain be a really entertaining story. I felt overall, it was a little Aliens meets Firefly and I really enjoyed it. ( ![]() Great adventure story. The characters are a little over the top, but not cartoonish. The plot switches speeds between fast and really fast. Lots of twists and turns as well. Lots and lots better than I expected. This book, Leviathan Wakes, might still be on my wish list if not for a friend, and fellow bibliophile, gifting me a copy for Christmas. She knows how much I love a good Sci-Fi story and this one delivered. So glad she choose this book because after watching the first season of The Expanse I was wanting to read the books before watching further episodes. The authors (Corey is a pseudonym for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) put a lot of work into the world building. The politics and racism in the book are spot on for what you would expect in the future where humans have inhabited the entire solar system. Earth looks down on people not born on Earth and the Belters, those born on asteroids or space stations in the Asteroid Belt are at the bottom of the list. While this book is not hard core Science Fiction, it still ticked all the boxes for me. Told from two POVs, Jim Holden, captain of an ice hauler, and Detective Miller on Eros station in the Belt. The characters were portrayed realistically. They two are polar opposites and once their paths become intertwined the story gets riveting. The character development is as strong as the plot and together they make for a book that is hard to put down. I highly recommend this book to all those who love Science Fiction. I can see why it won so many awards. Totally looking forward to book two. Big Object ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
