Leviathan Wakes is the first book in the New York Times


bestselling and Hugo-award winning Expanse series - over 4 million

'Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be' George R. R.


Martin

Humanity has colonised the solar system - Mars, the Moon, the
Asteroid Belt and beyond - but the stars are still out of our reach.

Jim Holden is an officer on an ice miner making runs from the rings
of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew
discover a derelict ship called the Scopuli, they suddenly find
themselves in possession of a deadly secret. A secret that someone
is willing to kill for, and on an unimaginable scale. War is coming
to the system, unless Jim can find out who abandoned the ship and
why.

Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of


billions, but her parents have money - and money talks. When the
trail leads him to the Scopuli and Holden, they both realise this girl
may hold the key to everything.

Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth
government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries and secret
corporations, and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the
rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the
universe.
The Expanse is the biggest science fiction series of the last decade
and is now a major TV series.
