Leviathan Wakes (by James S. A. Corey)

This was the last of my vacation reads, a big sci-fi space opera and the first book in a series called The Expanse.

Entertaining enough and very Scalzi-esque in terms of its humor, snappy dialogue, and slightly interchangeable protagonists. In this case both main characters were men and this was very man-focused, particularly so since one of the men had a creepy obsession with a woman throughout that (spoiler) ends up saving the universe. It has strong female characters but in a super male gazey way.  (One ends up sleeping with her boss, one ends up having a rape back story, etc.)

It's apparently a collaboration between two men, although the acknowledgements are written by seemingly one person? Probably I could dig into this more but eh, I don't feel compelled. I also don't feel compelled to keep reading. Entertaining enough, but the gender politics are off-putting. And that is definitely not Scalzi-esque.
