ReviewsA worthy sequel to Leviathan's Wake. Compelling characters and a plot that combines political intrigue with military sf create a memorable story that begs for film adaptation., Praise forLeviathan Wakes: "This is the future the way it was supposed to be."The Wall Street Journal "Riveting interplanetary thriller." --- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "It's been too long since we've had a really kickass space opera.Leviathan Wakesis interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written." --- George R.R. Martin "An excellent space operatic debut in the grand tradition of Peter F. Hamilton." --- Charlie Stross "If you like science fiction with great characters and set in real space, you'll enjoy this one." -Jo Walton, author of Farthing, Caliban's War is even better than Leviathan Wakes . It's old-fashioned space opera, the kind of SF that I cut my teeth on, a real page-turner set in a vividly imagined solar system... superlatively written.
