Description
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.

I am a bit conflicted about this book. On the one hand, it has fascinating ideas (such as “Belters” and the spinning gravity of Ceres), but on the other, I feel like the execution is a bit rough sometimes. For example, I found it very difficult to connect with any of the characters, so I wasn’t too concerned about any of their fates. All in all, it’s a solid 4-star book, which isn’t bad as it’s the first in a 9-book series. I will continue with the series with the hopes that character work is a bit more polished in future books
