OrangeReviewStarOn Ganymede, which once supplied food to the outer planets, Martian Marine Sgt. Roberta (Bobbie) Draper survives an encounter with a monstrous alien protomolecule that has already established a base on Venus. As Earth and Mars threaten to come to blows, a far-seeing UN administrator seeks to unite both factions. When a scientist's child goes missing, Outer Planets Alliance peacekeeper James Holden and his crew agree to search for her, and the endeavor takes him into the center of a political and military storm that might destroy the galaxy. Coauthors Daniel Abraham (The King's Blood; The Dragon's Path) and Ty Franck, writing as James S.A. Corey, have crafted a worthy sequel to Leviathan's Wake.
VERDICT Compelling characters and a plot that combines political intrigue with military sf create a memorable story that begs for film adaptation.
