Humanity has colonized the solar system - Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyond - but the stars are still out of our reach.
Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, the Scopuli, they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted. A secret that someone is willing to kill for - and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew. War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why.
Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When the trail leads him to the Scopuli and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything.
Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporations - and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe.

I watched The Expanse TV show with my husband and we both really enjoyed it. It took me some time to get into the show and word of advice...get through the first three episodes and by the fourth episode things really start to pick up. I wanted to read the books first but I'm a mood reader and have to be in the mood for something otherwise I end up putting it down.
I decided to listen to the audio book which is good but extremely long. The TV show follows the book very closely so I would recommend reading the book first before watching. I had a hard time paying attention to the book because I felt like I already knew everything that was going to happen.
The book follows two different points of view which are Miller and Holden. The world is vast and there are quite a few characters but by having only two points of view it helps the reader to not become overwhelmed by information.
The world is built really well and steadily throughout the book which I appreciated. I wish that some of the characters could have been fleshed out better because Miller and Holden seemed to be the only characters that had much depth. There is some romance in the book but I wish that the authors would have just skipped over that. I don't think that it needed to be included and appeared more like insta-love which I hate.
