Hands down, the best science fiction I've ever come across. A realistic, scientifically accurate, depiction of human expansion into our solar system, and the struggles of human nature on a grander scale. There's mystery and intrigue, with a wonderfully terrifying take on extra-solar life and first contact. I loved how rich and complex the different cultures of humanity are in this story. The world building is off the charts. I especially resonated with the Belters, who have become an entire race of human beings who cannot go "home" to earth, even if they wanted to. The physical repercussions of generations of people born and raised in low gravity, and how that contributes to the political climate between the inner planets and the outer planets is so so interesting and well done. Favorite science fiction series by far.storykath's review against another edition

Currently planning to try out books 2 and 3, but not thinking this is a series finisher for me, unfortunately.
