Leviathan Wakes (The Expanse, #1)

by James S.A. Corey

“There’s a right thing to do,” Holden said. “You don’t have a right thing, friend,” Miller said. “You’ve got a whole plateful of maybe a little less wrong.”

This is another great restatement of The Expanse’s underlying project. Choosing between a good action and a bad action is easy. Choosing among a field of only bad or at best mixed outcomes is more difficult. And probably more realistic. We always talked about Holden being the Holy Fool, and his interactions with Miller in the first book were built to kick his moral certainties out from under him this way.
