Jim's Review

🐛
Jim doesn't say this lightly — The Expanse is the best space opera of the 21st century. Leviathan Wakes kicks it off with a noir mystery wrapped in hard sci-fi wrapped in political intrigue, and Jim was hooked from page one. Miller is the grizzled detective every bookworm dreams of being, and Holden is the idealist who keeps making things worse. The protomolecule stuff? Genuinely creepy. Four worms and a strong recommendation to clear your schedule because you WILL binge the whole series.
