A review by iambto
Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey

4.0

After watching the first season of the Expanse, I was excited to read this book. I expected a hard sci-fi political thriller along the lines of C. j. Cherryh meets Carol Sagan. Instead I got a rollicking good swashbuckling tale with a hint of Noir. The tv series follows pretty close to the book, but I found the book to be more light hearted and humorous (still some dark moments). I really enjoyed both the tv show and the book, but found them to be different enough that I want to continue with both for their unique feels.
