Whereas Holden and Miller were kind of quite similar, the new cast are wonderfully varied. I was a bit leery when I realised there were so many new characters – especially as the first book felt so intimate and focused with just two – but it quickly became apparent that there was nothing for me to worry about, as I actually found all three of the new characters to be even more engaging that the ‘main’ character Holden. However, while the first book only had two POV characters, this one has four, including one returning character and three new ones. Oh, and don’t forget the vomit zombies.Ĭaliban’s War is structured in the same way as its predecessor, with each chapter told from alternating characters’ points of view. Caliban’s War is set about a year after the events of Leviathan Wakes, and once again follows the unlikely yet exciting adventures of Jim Holden and his rag-tag crew. Captain Jim Holden is engaged in policing the depths of space against pirates on behalf of the Outer Planets Alliance, until the war between Earth and Mars suddenly escalates and he finds himself caught in the middle once more. Earth, Mars and the Belt are continuing to ignore this threat and are instead concentrating on their own petty conflicts. The protomolecule, a mysterious and dangerous alien entity, has landed on Venus and is doing god-knows-what on the surface of the planet.
