A review of caliban s war
Synopsis
Caliban's War continues the story from Leviathan Wakes, following Jim Holden and the crew of Rocinante. In the book they're drawn into a search for a missing child on the moon Ganymede, which is in the midst of war. Meanwhile on Earth tensions rise as interplanetary war looms and as a mysterious and alien protomolecule takes over the planet Venus and is poised to spread throughout the solar system.
Reception
Critical reception for Caliban's War was predominantly positive, with Kirkus Reviews noting that the book could be enjoyed as a standalone novel but was "best appreciated after volume one". Wired.com's Geek Dad and Publishers Weekly both praised the novel, with GeekDad citing the book's "believable human personalities and technology that is easily recognizable" as a highlight. Tor.com gave an overall positive review for Caliban's War, but noted that there was "some rather tiresome dialogue in the cards, as well as an overabundance of laughably transparent politics, and a couple of at best cartoonishly characterised bad guys".
