Leviathan Wakes

Leviathan Wakes (the first novel in The Expanse series, adapted into the acclaimed TV show) follows Detective Miller investigating a missing person case on Ceres Station and Jim Holden's crew after their ice hauler is destroyed, as their paths converge around a mysterious alien technology that threatens humanity's fragile existence across the solar system. This space opera blends hard science fiction, political intrigue, and noir detective work in a realistically depicted future where humanity has colonized Mars and the asteroid belt, but remains divided by the same conflicts that plague us today.
