Leviathan Wakes

Holden, Naomi, Amos and Alex emerge from an ordinary hauling job into a conspiracy capable of starting a war. Their different shipboard skills matter, but so do disagreements about when a captain should act and who bears the consequences. James S. A. Corey, the partnership of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, gives the crew room to become more than its useful roles. Begin The Expanse here. Expect a forceful thriller with body horror and political violence alongside the growing loyalty.
