“@heatherbussing @akaBruno @k8bisch @Adam_Karpiak @kylecupp Fantastic book! I also loved your recommendation of Circe some years ago. Another one I recommend is The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. Or a Long Way to a Small Angry Planet if you're into a bit of scifi.”

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey. Recommended by 3 sources.
“Leviathan Wakes reads like a brisk, cinematic space-opera that shifts between a small-crew survival story and a widening conspiracy with real political consequences. Its strengths are propulsive plotting, street-level detail of life across Mars, the Belt and Earth, and a cast that grounds big-idea threats in personal stakes. Limitations: an abrupt tonal late-book escalation that favors spectacle over subtlety, and some exposition-heavy stretches that will frustrate readers wanting quieter character study or tighter hard-SF rigor.”
