"The Scopuli had been taken eight days ago, and Julie Mao was finally ready to be shot."
James S. A. Corey, Leviathan Wakes
A very entertaining read, starting out with an excellent mixture of action and space opera politics. It did not go in the direction I had expected - opening up a vein of horror about two thirds of the way through made the narrative a bit more pedestrian in my eyes, but didn't take away from the compelling thrust of the story. I enjoyed it, but am not compelled to pick up the (many) sequels.
