Leviathan Wakes

Holy shit.

Let me start this review off by saying – I'm not a huge sci-fi fan. I much prefer high or modern fantasy, but Leviathan Wakes is so, so good. What a story. It starts off with an emergency beacon going off and a ship getting exploded into a million pieces, and ends with a space station crashing into Venus. There's vomit zombies, a missing girl, a protomolocule, a noir detective, and a space mechanic with a sailor mouth. The characters all weave together in really, really interesting ways and damn if I didn't want to just plow right into the next book already.

If you've seen the show and enjoyed even a single second of it, you'll enjoy the book.

Five really huge stars.
