Leviathan Wakes



A few notable things from my experience as a reader who watched the first season on TV:

1. The show was really faithful. Like, really REALLY faithful.
2. I only watched this show in fits and starts, and usually late at night. Thus I had clear memories of some stuff, but missed big plot points. Like, I know this ship will explode, but I forget who does it and why?
3. The show had a very boring B-plot about politicians. They're not in this book! They must be from a sequel.

Picked up this audiobook for a long solo drive. It's been on my to-read list since I watched a season of the TV show, and it's well-regarded by my science/space friends. I did not have high expectations here, but really enjoyed it!
