Leviathan Wakes

Humanity has colonized the solar system, but the stars are out of reach. Tensions between Earth, Mars, and the Asteroid Belt are at a breaking point. Aboard an ice hauler, XO Jim Holden and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship and a secret someone is willing to kill for on a system-wide scale. On the Belt station of Ceres, washed-up detective Miller is tasked with finding a missing heiress. The two men, one an idealist and the other a cynic, find themselves on a collision course as their separate investigations begin to point to the same horrifying truth.

What begins as a destroyed ship and a routine missing persons case unravels into the greatest conspiracy in human history. Holden and Miller must navigate a treacherous path between governments, corporations, and revolutionaries, where one wrong move could ignite an interplanetary war. As they dig deeper, they realize a single girl might hold the key to everything, and that a threat far more ancient and alien than humanity's squabbles has been unleashed. This is a story that reveals how a small ship and a handful of individuals can alter the fate of the universe.
