Caliban's War

Even though this second book in the series has a premise very similar to the first book (a girl goes missing and our heroes have to find her), it builds on the world established in the first book. It expands on the political dynamics between Earth and Mars. It introduces badass new characters (Chrisjen "Potty Mouth" Avasarala is my favorite). It continues building the protomolecule mystery. The book gripped me from the very beginning and never let go. I started keeping notes after every couple of chapters just so I could follow the story. When I was done and when I read my notes, I couldn't believe how much was packed into this book. There were only a couple of chapters where I felt my mind wondering. But otherwise it was a thrilling ride. Can't wait to get to the next installment in the series.
