What to expect
Humanity has colonized the planets - interstellar travel is still beyond our reach, but the solar system has become a dense network of colonies. But there are tensions - the mineral-rich outer planets resent their dependence on Earth and Mars and the political and military clout they wield over the Belt and beyond.
Now, when Captain Jim Holden's ice miner stumbles across a derelict, abandoned ship, he uncovers a secret that threatens to throw the entire system into war. Attacked by a stealth ship belonging to the Mars fleet, Holden must find a way to uncover the motives behind the attack, stop a war and find the truth behind a vast conspiracy that threatens the entire human race.

4.0 3.0
Very gripping narrative with good characterisation and world building. The setting is both fantastical but also rooted in believability. The narration is crisp and direct and helps propel the story along.

5.0 5.0
Captivating view of a solar system established human presence. Simultaneously a series of personal stories and a grand political narrative, set ina grounded and believable environment. 5 stars.
