Descripción editorial
With over 10 million copies sold, The Expanse has become one of the biggest science fiction phenomenons of the decade.
The second book in the New York Times bestselling Expanse series, Caliban's War shows a solar system on the brink of war, and the only hope of peace rests on James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante's shoulders. Now a Prime Original series.
We are not alone. On Ganymede, breadbasket of the outer planets, a Martian marine watches as her platoon is slaughtered by a monstrous supersoldier. On Earth, a high-level politician struggles to prevent interplanetary war from reigniting. And on Venus, an alien protomolecule has overrun the planet, wreaking massive, mysterious changes and threatening to spread out into the solar system.
In the vast wilderness of space, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante have been keeping the peace for the Outer Planets Alliance. When they agree to help a scientist search war-torn Ganymede for a missing child, the future of humanity rests on whether a single ship can prevent an alien invasion that may have already begun . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Corey (a joint pseudonym for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) returns to the politically charged future solar system setting of Leviathan Wakes for a sprawling space opera thriller. Eighteen months have passed since the now defunct corporation Protogen tried with horrifying results to harness an alien molecule with the power to rearrange living and inanimate matter. The planet Venus is now infected with the molecule, which may be controlled by an extra solar system intelligence. The shaky d tente among Mars, Earth, and the Outer Planets Alliance shatters after aliens attack Earth and Mars forces on Ganymede, making it look like Earth was the aggressor. Capt. James Holden, lately of the OPA, joins up with a botanist on Ganymede whose missing toddler might be the key to this new incident, while U.N. diplomat Chrisjen Avasarala and Martian soldier Bobbie Draper try desperately to avoid interplanetary war. This breakneck tale will have readers itching for book three.

Another home run!
After reading Leviathan Wakes, you will be left longing for more. This book goes deeper into the politics of Corey's Solar System. You will explore the ruthless political world of UN's Assistant Undersecretary Avasarala, a gramma that you wouldn't want as an enemy. She will join Captain James Holden as they try to prevent a war between Earth, Mars, and the Outer Planets Alliance. We meet Seegeant Roberta "Bobbie" Draper, a Martian Marine that is thrown into a quest for vengeance when her unit is destroyed by a new manifestation if the dreaded protomolecule.
This book is written in a fast pace, describing the adventures of new POV characters.
You will fear for Holden as he struggles with losing himself to vengeance. You will adore Avasarala's cunning and cussing, you will cry for Biologist Prax Meng, and you will root for your new favorite Martian, Bobbie Draper.
Another home run for this series. You will no doubt enjoy every page.
