Book Description

Publication Date: 7 Jun 2012 | Series: Expanse (Book 2)

For someone who didn't intend to wreck the solar system's fragile balance of power, Jim Holden did a pretty good job of it.

While Earth and Mars have stopped shooting each other, the core alliance is shattered. The outer planets and the Belt are uncertain in their new - possibly temporary - autonomy.

Then, on one of Jupiter's moons, a single super-soldier attacks, slaughtering soldiers of Earth and Mars indiscriminately and reigniting the war. The race is on to discover whether this is the vanguard of an alien army, or if the danger lies closer to home.

Product Description

Book Description

The action-packed sequel to James S. A. Corey's critically acclaimed science fiction debut Leviathan Wakes

From the Back Cover

WE ARE NOT ALONE

On Jupiter's largest moon, a Martian marine watches as her platoon is slaughtered by a monstrous supersoldier. On Earth, a high-level politician struggles to prevent interplanetary war from reigniting. And on Venus, an alien protomolecule has overrun the planet, wreaking massive, mysterious changes and threatening to spread out into the solar system.

In the vast wilderness of space, James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante have been keeping the peace for the Outer Planets Alliance. When they agree to help a scientist search war-torn Ganymede for a missing child, the future of humanity rests on whether a single ship can prevent an alien invasion that may have already begun . . .

Caliban's War is a breakneck science fiction adventure following the critically acclaimed Leviathan Wakes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Story Continues... Brilliantly Well 18 Aug 2012
By Hopester
Format:Kindle Edition
Perhaps despite myself, I was a huge fan of the first book in this series. No FTL travel? Humanity stuck in the home system? It all just seemed a bit, well... parochial. More 'space soap' than 'space opera'. But then I actually read it and it wasn't parochial at all - it was genius. Believable characters, interesting plot, snappy dialogue, and everything coming together to make a proper sci-fi yarn.

So I was naturally interested to read this follow-up - and it doesn't disappoint. The newer characters are all engaging, the plot is at least as interesting as in the first book, and the quality of the writing is high. It's possible that I enjoyed the first book more, but I think that's only really because the first book was such a surprise find. I read an enormous amount of sci-fi - lots of it less than stellar - but these books are well worth the attention of even the very occasional sci-fi fan.

I actually rather hate the prominence of series in sci-fi - it smacks of a lack of creativity, or of barely masked greed at the expense of creativity. But when it's done well, as it is here, it can be a real pleasure. If I hadn't already started, I might prefer to have waited to start these books until all 3 were out (because I absolutely hate waiting for sequels), but I'd heartily recommend this series to anyone and everyone who likes a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining. Other authors take note 27 Sep 2012
By Robert
Format:Paperback
Leviathan Wakes set the scene for a Solar System torn by rivalries between Earth, Mars and the Outer Planets. Grounded in the possible, Corey has created a realistic image of how the early days of human expansion might run. He concentrated on the characters and very often their flaws. This was quite heartening because there are some authors who write big, big stories but whose characters make the reader yawn.

In Caliban's War, Corey brings back some old characters in the shape of James Holden and his crew, whilst introducing some new participants in the drama. The story is full of action, such as an on the run battle under the domes and tunnels of Ganymede. But there is still the odd bit of one line humour that endears the players in the tale. I really felt for the characters missions. Praxx, a displaced botanist is seeking his toddler daughter in the heat of a war. Holden doubts his earlier decisions about disposal of the proto-molecule and whether he was right to trust the Outer Planets with the last remaining sample. Meanwhile on Earth a senior administrator and an estranged Martian marine are working against the lightspeed delay to discover what events near Jupiter have turned a peaceful colonised moon against itself.
