  • Humanity has colonized the solar systemโ€”Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyondโ€”but the stars are still out of our reach.
  • Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, the Scopuli, they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted. A secret that someone is willing to kill forโ€”and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew. War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why.
  • Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When the trail leads him to the Scopuli and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything.
  • Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporationsโ€”and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe.

Great sci-fi book. Currently on the 3rd book. It's been called a space soap opera. If you enjoyed the Foundation Series or Cixin Liu's books, this will be up your alley

Liked the show, so I thought I'd pick this up. Purchased November 24th, 2019. Man, I need to get off this site.

Interesting. I really didn't care at for The Three Body Problem, but devoured these. They feel like very different kinds of sci-fi to me, but these things are very subjective.

Great first book to an absolutely amazing space opera series. Went through the entire books as well as the novellas. Watched the series on SyFy and then Amazon. The actors they chose to play the characters were spot on and still ring in my mind whenever one the characters come to my mind. TV series departs from the books in a few (but good ways) partly because they had to end the series. All in all, a great book and/or TV show to get into for the new year if you like Sci Fi. - A fellow Beltalowda!

I had not read fiction in 20 years and really had no desire to go back. My buddy convinced me to read this book and I was hooked. Read the first 4 in 2 weeks and only stopped because I didn't want to jump past the show. Then I read 5 and 6 "with" the show, anticipating every Friday when a new episode would drop so I could watch then read up to that point.

When the show ended, I read the last 3, and the book that had all the novellas together. That was maybe 2 years ago now and I still miss those characters. As a matter of fact, I'm halfway through watching season 1 for the 4th time. Definitely worth a read!!

This is great book is a fantastic series. It's a pretty long read, but reads easily. Jump on this if you are into sci-fi. This is much better than the Amazon show based on the series.

One of the best book and TV series ever made. A damn travesty the TV series was canceled.

My favorite series by far. It is a long series (9 books plus 5 short stories IIRC). LOVED the character development. You really get to know the crew of the Rocinante. If you enjoy a good story, that builds with each book, I highly recommend.
