Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey
5.0
If you're looking for a book that you can passively pick up and read to pass time, this is not the book for you. Because I assure you, once you pick this series up, you won't be able to put it down.
It's hard to come by a well written, science fiction space novel that keeps you guessing, but James S.A. Corey accomplishes just that in "Leviathan Wakes." This book keeps you on the edge of your seat as conflict verges on war between humanity's three major factions: Earth, Mars, and the Outer Planets.
To put it simply, Corey got it right. The characters are richly written, and the relationships between them are vastly dynamic. In fact, when you're not laughing at their antics or throwing the book across the room out of anger, you feel like you're right there with them--flying around the solar system in zero g because the world that Corey's created is that believable.
To sum it up, this realistic rendition of a futuristic Space Opera is everything you'd want it to be. But don't take my word for it, this book is worth experiencing for yourself.
