Description

Humanity has colonized the planets - interstellar travel is still beyond our reach, but the solar system has become a dense network of colonies. But there are tensions - the mineral-rich outer planets resent their dependence on Earth and Mars and the political and military clout they wield over the Belt and beyond.

Now, when Captain Jim Holden's ice miner stumbles across a derelict, abandoned ship, he uncovers a secret that threatens to throw the entire system into war. Attacked by a stealth ship belonging to the Mars fleet, Holden must find a way to uncover the motives behind the attack, stop a war and find the truth behind a vast conspiracy that threatens the entire human race.

    Avis de l'équipe

    A colossal and staggering take on the future of mankind, James S. A. Corey brings his latest and arguably his best, Leviathan Wakes: The Expanse, Book 1 as a full and unabridged audiobook, narrated by the brilliant Jefferson Mays. This series depicts a populated solar system and the demise of Earth’s resources. Planetary unrest is brimming between the colonies, human and alien alike. With the fateful discovery of a deeply-rooted secret, a full-fledged war could be the ultimate ending of it all. This is utterly spellbinding. Available now from Audible.

    Commentaires

    "It's been too long since we've had a really kickass space opera. Leviathan Wakes is interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written, the kind of SF that made me fall in love with the genre way back when, seasoned with a dollop of horror and a dash of noir. Jimmy Corey writes with the energy of a brash newcomer and the polish of a seasoned pro" (George R. R. Martin)
    "A winning blend of old-school space opera and modern sensibility... Corey combines no-nonsense storytelling with hard-boiled dialogue as the novel races to a truly cosmic ending. An excellent start to a promising new series" ( The Telegraph)
    "Corey... has created a refreshingly blue-collar tale, with well-drawn characters and a compelling narrative sweep. Roll on Book Two." ( Financial Times)
    "If you love tales packed with worldbuildy details like how humans cored asteroids, pumped them full of atmosphere, and spun them up for gravity's sake, then you'll love this novel to pieces" ( io9)

    Amazingly realistic Sci-Fci story with perfect reading

    The narrator's voice & tone are perfect, a little voice acting but not too much, nothing exaggerated, just enough to give you an extra layer of "feeling" compared to just reading it. I loved it!

    Excellent

    This is one of the best Sci Fi book I've ever read. The universe is complex and James S.A. Corey really worked on it but he also has a gift for writing.
    He has a very good grasp of our society and people. Every character is different and seems real, with emotion and depth.
    The technological aspects are also plausible and the fact that it only take place in our solar system make it so much closer to us than most Sci Fi stories.
    I also love that everything takes times. Not just few hours but days, even months. We forget too often that exploring space means so vast distances it take a lot of time to cross.

    If like me you seen the TV series first, you will not be disappointed but you should still read the books. ;-)

    And last but not least Jefferson Mays is one hell of a narrator !

    Génial

    Roman absolument génial. excréments réaliste malgré le fait qu'il s'agit d'un Space Opera. petite longueur au milieu du roman mais une fin absolument sublime.

    Boring set of cliches

    I didn't make it till the end - gave up with 9 hours to go. I think the action was picking up, but I shouldn't be forced to listen to half the book before you get to good parts. Not every book needs to grip you from the start, we all know the first 80-100 pages of Lord of the Rings being completely different in tone than the rest of the book.

    However here every hour was a slog - the setup is one of the most cliche-laden I have experience in more than 30 years of reading books. You have your typical conflict between Earth and Mars (why is it always Mars?), with third faction - the Belters - living on asteroids (why are they always living on asteroids)? There is no interesting power plays, no interesting characters (they are the most generic bunch - there is a reluctant XO made captain, a down-on-his-luck cop, etc.)

    The narration was ok, I think it is made worse by how primitive the dialogue is in the book. Every dialogue goes like this:

    Something - Holden said.
    Something else - Miller said.

    It repeats ad infinitum. It seems the author is incapable of putting another set of words to indicate the end of the dialogue than "X said".

    Save your time, go grab something else.
