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 . . .

Leviathan Wakes ???????????????Caliban's War ???????????????
I might possibly have a new favourite series!
The plot picks up a while after the first book ends and introduces a few new point of view characters along the way. I really loved the writing in this series so far, I find it a really exciting combination of description and plot. The additional points of view were hit and miss, but none were bad. I simply got attached to some characters more than others.
There is a cliffhanger in the final section of the book that has me dying for the next.
A bit more of a slow burner with a greater focus on the political wrangling, but given a new favorite character in Crisjen Avasarala, a ridiculously sailor mouthed politician.
