Interesting cast of characters and an exciting space journey.

If you enjoy themes that Alien, Dead Space, Mass Effect, thrillers and mysteries deliver, then I highly recommend this book. Don’t let the book size turn you away. The authors do a good job introducing you to the world of the Expanse and everything gets explained over time, so don’t get discouraged. Kind of like if Game of Thrones author does it. Plus it’s cool to know he worked with the authors. It might not hurt to have a chapter summary for some of the chapters, but maybe that’s because of my brain lol. Give it a read, you won’t be disappointed. I’ll probably dive back into the series after I get through my other backlog of books.

A really enjoyable read… great characters and a great story so nothing to not like. I watched the TV show, “The Expanse”, first but so far the book is better. Onwards to book #2.

This is book is a whole lot of fun! I thoroughly enjoyed how outer space living was depicted in a very realistic way, it made for a super intense and informative experience. The character work here is great too! Very excited to read book 2.

I’m sad it took me so long to discover this series. I can’t wait for what’s to come in book two and beyond. My thanks to the author. Awesome!

I liked the science fiction focus on current moral challenges and on making peace with yourself. On problem solving vs false confidence. On change, possibilities and imagination. The main characters continually rethink, analyze, imagine and reevaluate their decisions. It’s also a great story!

It is a great work of science fiction! I enjoyed the world Corey has built, and the characters that brought this story to life. I highly recommend this!

Really enjoyed it from start to finish

Honestly some of the best world building I’ve ever read since the Foundation and Robot Series. The level with which this book also grounds itself in a plausible reality with regards to space travel and colonization makes it that much engrossing.

An amazing book that fleshes out two differing views on humanity along with all the actions, mystery, and horror one could ask for. A Sci-fi that is definitely up there with Dune and the Foundation.
