Reviews"It's been too long since we've had a really kickass space opera. LEVIATHAN WAKES is interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written, the kind of SF that made me fall in love with the genre way back when, seasoned with a dollop of horror and a dash of noir. Jimmy Corey writes with the energy of a brash newcomer and the polish of a seasoned pro. So where's the second book?"-- George R.R. Martin on Leviathan Wakes, "An excellent space operatic debut in the grand tradition of Peter F. Hamilton."-- Charles Stross on Leviathan Wakes
