About this listen
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.

Excellent
If you're like me; looking for a great sci fi book (or space opera) to read, wanting a good one, not wanting to waste your one miserly Audible monthly credit on a dud, reading reddit reviews, Google reviews... well you can save yourself the trouble and read Leviathan Wakes. Fantastic world building concepts, characters are great, it's funny, great action scenes...so much fun... and a little creepy to boot, trust me, you'll love it.

Great start to a Sci Fi series
well crafted storyline and characters. good action and sequencing. had to lose one star for the blasphemy though. bad language was acceptable as it was generally in context and not prolific.

no wonder they made a series
this is a terrific, enthralling adventure. The characters are very real, the science excellent and the action breathtaking.
the narrator enhances this story very much.

Loved it!
A very action packed sci-fi. Every chapter leaves you thirsty for more. Well built, deep characterization through actions and dialogue, rather than long descriptive detail.

Overall a great story.
Sometimes difficult to understand which characters are speaking based on the reader's voice, but this is my only complaint. Everything else was great.

Great story
I absolutely love this series. I have previously read all the books and watched the first 2 seasons of the show and still enjoyed revisiting this story with audible.
I found the narrator's performance a little flat as each character was largely performed the same as another's.

I've enjoyed my times alone with this novel
It's been a while since I've last enjoyed a sci-fi story this much. Thanks Dan and Ty. I grew up with the original Dr Who and Star Trek, read everything Asimov wrote, and I can say that this has some oomph. A bit more adult than most sci-fi in film and tv at the moment. The tv series does the novel justice, too.
