"Parts of this epic sci-fi thriller/dramedy are even better than the first, but I still think some of the characters are a little flat. Yes kids and molestation and shit that's horrible to hear about makes good drama, but they don't necessarily make an OK story any better or flat characters any more interesting. The ending to this one though... woah. Hold on to your bowels cause its going to be like hitting ten gees acceleration without your meds." — Marcus (4 out of 5 stars)

“This breakneck tale will have readers itching for book three.”
" I originally read the series in print and then caught up on the show, but I'd say the audiobooks are best. This books is a bit darker in some ways than the first (despite the Eros incident) but they introduce amazing new characters (Bobby and Avasarala) and you get to spend more time with some of my favourites. Great 2nd book! "
" I didn't know anything about this book or series going in and I really enjoyed it. This is book two and I didn't read book one because we can't get it on audiobook in the US but it was great anyway. The narrator is also really good though occasionally the way he *always* puts pauses between phrases can get tedious. "

" A perfect science fiction series. If you like sci-fi, find this series immediately. Knock elderly people down as you rush to the bookshop. "
" I don't have too much to say about this book. It's pure entertainment. Fun, fast paced and doesn't make too many mis-steps. For those who enjoyed Leviathan Wakes, this is about the same level of quality. "
