Excellent space opera sci-fi. Part space adventure, part horror, part crime noir, Leviathan Wakes provides an excellent cast of characters and an exciting story line. The setting is near-future and solar system based - no gallivanting across the universe faster than light. No artificial gravity on the ships, so G-forces play a big part on what ships and people are capable of doing.
It was an engrossing read. I couldn't put it down. I immediately picked up both sequels and loved them as well.
The sequel to Leviathan Wakes, Caliban's War is a mix of sci-fi, political thriller, and military adventure. We keep most of the cast and add a few new characters, including a UN politician and a Martian marine.
A very well written, seat-of-the-pants ride. An excellent follow-up to the first novel.
An excellent conclusion to the Expanse series. I read all three books back to back and couldn't put them down.
Leviathan Wakes was sci-fi, horror, crime noir.
Caliban's War was sci-fi, political drama, military action.
Abaddon's Gate was sci-fi, exploration, action thriller.
If there were a few moments where I doubted character motivation for certain actions, these were far overshadowed by the excellent writing and action-packed plot. Each novel upped the stakes and Abaddon's Gate certainly didn't let off the gas. I highly recommend the series.
