Midway through Leviathan Wakes , there was a scene which completely upended my impression of this story, and caused me to realize that I'd fundamentally misunderstood the basic nature of the book I had thought I was reading. At this point in the novel, Leviathan Wakes's two main protagonists (the internationally wanted spaceship captain James Holden, and the disgraced former police detective Josephus Miller) have narrowly escaped a deadly alien bioweapon deliberately released on the astroid Eros by the shadowy interplanetary corporation Protogen. Now, as Miller takes refuge in Holden’s stolen space ship (a heavily armed state-of-the-art Martian corvette named the Rocinante ), the characters all contemplate an increasingly uncertain future in which Protogen's new bioweapon will likely be unleashed on the majority of humanity.
