NOW A PRIME ORIGINAL TV SERIES
Caliban's War is the second book in the New York Times bestselling and Hugo-award winning Expanse series.
For someone who didn't intend to wreck the solar system's fragile balance of power, Jim Holden did a pretty good job of it.
While Earth and Mars have stopped shooting each other, the core alliance is shattered. The outer planets and the Belt are uncertain in their new - possibly temporary - autonomy.
Then, on one of Jupiter's moons, a single super-soldier attacks, slaughtering soldiers of Earth and Mars indiscriminately and reigniting the war. The race is on to discover whether this is the vanguard of an alien army, or if the danger lies closer to home.
The Expanse is the biggest science fiction series of the last decade and is now a major TV series.

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.
Klantrecensies
Goede sciencefiction met een degelijk menselijk element
Na het zien van de serie met de boeken begonnen, en na de paperback in een ruk uitgelezen te hebben doorgegaan met de ebooks.
Het is mijn inziens een mooie aanvulling voor je bibliotheek als je Enders Game en game of thrones goede boeken vond.
