In the Asteroid Belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars and the outer planets. By chance, Jim Holden, executive officer of an outer planets ice freighter, and his crew – his second-in command Naomi Nagata, the pilot Alex Kamal and the mechanic Amos Burton – witness the destruction of their ship, and on Ceres, police detective Miller is searching for the runaway Earther Julie Mao. Both men eventually find themselves entangled in a conspiracy by an Earth-based corporation to weaponize an alien replicator molecule, which is released on Eros Station to disastrous effect as war breaks out between the inner planets and the outer settlements. After commandeering a Martian corvette, dubbed the ''Rocinante'', Miller, Holden and his crew help the leader of the Outer Planets Alliance, Fred Johnson, neutralize the threat. The alien growth that has consumed Eros eventually settles on Venus, beginning to transform the planet to ends unknown. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leviathan Wakes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
