Leviathan Wakes

In a future where humanity has colonized the solar system, but the stars remain out of reach, Jim Holden, an officer on an ice freighter, and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship called the Scopuli. This discovery thrusts them into possession of a deadly secret, one that powerful factions are willing to kill for on an unimaginable scale, threatening to ignite a system-wide war. Meanwhile, Detective Joe Miller, a jaded investigator from Ceres, is on a seemingly routine missing persons case, searching for a wealthy heiress named Julie Mao. As Miller's investigation leads him to the Scopuli and intersects with Holden's dangerous findings, they realize the missing girl might hold the key to the entire brewing conflict. Forced to navigate a treacherous web of intrigue between the Earth government, the rebellious Outer Planet Alliance (OPA), and shadowy corporations, Holden and Miller must uncover the truth to prevent catastrophe. Against overwhelming odds, their small ship and unlikely alliance become central to the fate of the universe.
