Leviathan Wakes (2011) by James S.A. Corey is a gripping sci-fi thriller that kicks off The Expanse series, blending hard science fiction with noir mystery and interstellar political intrigue. Set in a divided solar system where tensions simmer between Earth, Mars, and the asteroid Belt, the story follows two unlikely allies: Jim Holden, a principled spaceship officer who uncovers a deadly conspiracy, and Joe Miller, a disillusioned detective hunting a missing woman tied to the same shadowy plot. Their paths converge around the protomolecule, a terrifying alien experiment that threatens to unravel humanity’s fragile balance of power. With visceral space battles, gritty realism, and a haunting vision of first contact, the novel explores themes of survival, betrayal, and the cost of idealism in a lawless frontier. A modern sci-fi masterpiece that inspired the hit TV adaptation The Expanse.
