Sinossi
L'umanità ha colonizzato l'intero sistema solare, spingendosi fino all'orbita di Nettuno grazie alla scoperta di un avveniristico motore a fusione. Jim Holden presta servizio sulla Canterbury, un cargo che trasporta ghiaccio attraverso gli infiniti spazi tra gli anelli di Saturno e la Fascia, l'arcipelago di asteroidi che si estende tra Marte e Giove. Incaricato di ispezionare il relitto di una nave spaziale, la Scopuli, sopravvivrà alla distruzione della Canterbury in seguito a un proditorio attacco nemico. Un fatto inaudito che porta la Terra, Marte e la Fascia sull'orlo della catastrofe planetaria. Nel frattempo, sull'asteroide Ceres, il detective Miller è impegnato nelle ricerche di Julie Mao, una giovane ribelle che ha rinnegato la sua famiglia sulla Terra e si è rifugiata nella Fascia. La ragazza sembra scomparsa nel nulla, ma le sue tracce portano dritto al relitto della Scopuli e a una vicenda di orribili esperimenti che qualcuno sta tentando di insabbiare, anche a costo di scatenare una guerra senza precedenti.

(2.5) Need to watch the tv show because damn, I'm disappointed. _______________________ The moon itself - Phoebe - filled the frame, turning slowly to show all sides like a prostitute at a cheap brothel. "But you did this for what?.."
I've been gorking out on Urban Fantasy and Romance lately, so mixing it with a FANTASTIC Space Opera was JUST what I needed! I loved this book because in a lot of ways it humanized a BIG SF world in a way that is normally tough. I cared about the characters, I yelled at them a lot, and I enjoyed ever Leggi tutto

I got nobody to blame but myself for this…. I’ve had a long-standing policy that I will not read an unfinished sci-fi/fantasy series because I spent over a decade waiting for a certain master of horror to get off his ass and finish what he started. Plus, I have no urge to join the ranks of fans of ot Leggi tutto
Leviathan Wakes was so good; a character-driven space-opera that combines sci-fi, noir, mystery, and a slice of horror into one. I’ve watched only the first season and a few episodes of the second season, but it was enough to make me want to read all the available books in the series first before con Leggi tutto
EH? EH! this so-called space opera is anything but. no sense of wonder, no sense of truly divergent civilizations, no galactic span. and a clear lack of operatic emotions on display as well. perhaps this is due to the characterization, which is rote, uninteresting, and badly developed, with sub-par
Certainly one of the best space operas ever written Predestined to be made a major TV series This is something special for the sci fi genre, because it´s one of the first big, new sci fi worlds that got transformed into a magnificent TV series. There are so many other jewels waiting to be adapted, in Leggi tutto
The Expanse - 1 : (reread after just 28 months!) I sill don't even know where to begin with this planets' spanning space opera set in a deeply detailed future, multiple location reality where man is split into three co-dependant but opposing civilisations; there's Earth, Luna and the inner planets be Leggi tutto
”Way I see it, there’s three ways this can go,” Miller said. “One, we find your ship still in dock, get the meds we need, and maybe we live. Two, we try to get to the ship, and along the way we run into a bunch of mafia thugs. Die gloriously in a hail of bullets. Three, we sit here and leak out of o Leggi tutto
