I started watching the t.v. adaptation of “The Expanse” and a little way in, loving it, decided to read the books first. Always prefer it that way round and “Leviathan Wakes” is simply brilliant, a rollercoaster ride through space – a proper epic that holds all your attention first page to last.
A classic tale at the heart of it, a small, motley and eclectic crew who may hold the fate of the universe in their hands, face off against varying powers, battles galore, with plenty of richly layered characters all set against the backdrop of a beautifully imagined future world.
A heady mix of space opera, drama, horror and science fiction, Leviathan Wakes drowns your senses, messes with your heart rate, keeps you up at night and has a disturbingly relentless feel to the more horrifying moments. All this whilst attaching you to the characters in an emotional way that makes you crazy when the bad things inevitably happen.
I adored it – I don’t think I’ve read a book this long in such a short time ever – that cliche about not being able to put it down was almost literally true in this case.
Fantastic writing, clever, intelligent plotting and a visceral, visual feel to it that digs deep, Leviathan Wakes is one of my favourite reads ever. No messing.
Bring on Caliban’s War is what I say.
Highly recommended.

I wasn't aware of this series of books before the popular TV show The Expanse came out. I enjoyed the show and it stood to reason that the source material would be richer, deeper and more layered. Was absolutely not disappointed. Being character driven the interweaving and over-arcing stories could be viewed as a commentary on a possible andGranskad i Storbritannien den 1 december 2018
'realistic' soon-to-be future (dystopian) society or maybe even a warning that people will always need someone to watch out for them as inevitably the people who watch over them always seem to misappropriate and abuse that power/trust.
Having said all that, it's a bloody good story with a wide range of characters that you actually care about. I'm halfway through book four and couldn't be happier knowing that there are three more waiting for me to read when I finish it.
