Corey, fantasy author Daniel Abraham began to collaborate with Ty Franck (who had worked as a personal assistant to George R. In Germany, their books are published under the name James Corey with the middle initials omitted. The name is also meant to emulate many of the space opera writers of the 1970s.
The first and last name are taken from Abraham's and Franck's middle names, respectively, and S. Corey is the pen name used by collaborators Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, authors of the science fiction series The Expanse. The main downside is the rather average prose style.Leviathan Wakes in novel series The Expanse The main positives of the book are a realistic future picture of the solar system, two interesting main characters, some fresh SciFi ideas, plenty of action, an intriguing opening, and a dramatic finale. He becomes a system-wide cult fugure after broadcasting some half-founded allegations which put everyone on a war footing. Holden and his diverse Scooby gang have a ridiculous amount of luck, escaping from one disaster and lurching into another. The book is told in alternate chapters, one for Holden, followed by one for Miller. Miller has lost his zest for life, but finds new interest in the girl he's sent to find. The two main characters in the book are Miller, a sloppy 50ish cop from Ceres, who's asked to look into the disappearance of a rich girl from Earth, and Holden, an early 30s former Earth naval officer, who charges around the solar system in a fast 5-man ship, trying to stop the spread of the deadly Protomolecule.
Suddenly, this unstable scenerio is threatened by the discovery of a mysterious, contagious, and lethal organic substance called the `Protomolecule' in the outer solar system. divert an asteroid towards Earth or Mars. Although small in number, high ly dependent, and lacking resources, there is always the threat that a few Belters will `Throw Rocks' i.e. Continually at the mercy of large corporations for air & water, they have also grown to hate all authority and those from the `Inner Planets' i.e. They have longer arms & bodies adapted to low gravity, and a more positive attitude to risk-taking and group cooperation. The `Belters' have partly evolved away from standard humans. Out in `The Belt' almost 10 generations have grown up on the larger asteroids & the moons of Jupiter. Martians are more go-ahead, with a national terraforming project & an efficient military.
A few super-rich control the big system-wide corporations. Several hundred years in the future, Earth-dwellers are largely idle and on benefits. 8/10Ī very good SciFi book with fresh ideas and interesting, well-developed characters. Paints a realistic picture of the future solar system.
