I'm just tired of teen angst showing up seemingly everywhere lately. I have to get this off my chest first - Teresa was annoying. One thing I thought a tad convenient though was the fact that human brains are apparently of sterner stuff than the Romans' equivalent. I guess we'll see what happens with him in the last book. Not so sure we're rid of Duarte - he's still around and dangerous.

Glad we got rid of Cortàzar - the character had served its purpose. I wonder if Elvi becomes some sort of surrogate mother to them now. But I'm glad Muskrat made it and the logistics of a dog on a space-ship were addressed, he!Īs for Amos: pretty clear he was Timothy and that he would return as Zombie. I liked Teresa's journey but I hope we're done now with powerful fathers and rebellious daughters. I loved Alex and Naomi's reunion on the Roci - all the feels! I actually enjoyed that more than Holden and Naomi's reunion. It's been a while that I cried over the death of a fictional character - so, well done! Losing Bobbie hurt, I thought I had made it without needing any Kleenex but then the call-sign 'Draper Station' came and the flood gates opened. I will never not hate game-theory and I was really happy to see that Laconia trying to implement it with the 'angry gods' went haywire beyond imagination. It always felt pretty idiotic to me to use the ring gates so carelessly (of course you could argue that's human nature) - 'flying through a dragon's mouth' indeed! Occasionally the books started to feel a bit like watching GoT with lots of stupid fights and intrigues while nobody is caring about ice zombies on the march. This was basically what I had been waiting for ever since 'Cibola Burn'. I enjoyed it more than the last three volumes because we're finally getting to the real question: who are the creeps that destroyed the 'Romans' and created the bullets? Now, available in print for the first time comes the complete collection of short fiction set in the Expanse universe, including both a brand-new novella set after the events of Leviathan Falls and author’s notes on each story.Phew, finished - all worried that I would miss a massive thread here before I was done 😉 Are The Expanse novels available in print?

That said, if you want to read the series in a chronological order, better start with the prequels. You can read the prequel stories after this one, especially The Churn and The Butcher of Anderson Station so you’ll know the characters. The Expanse Universe really starts with the first novel, Leviathan Wakes. Then, very similar to stem cells, the protomolecule began to use this replicator to grow, alter and adapt itself according to hard-coded prime directive. In its primordial form, the protomolecule was the idle, dormant agent being activated when a replication mechanism was encountered. What is the Protomolecule in The Expanse?

While the TV version of The Expanse thus far has more or less lined up with the overall narrative of the first five novels in the series, there have been some shifts in the timeline and continuity throughout. You can read in the order they were published, or be truly chaotic and read everything in absolutely no order at all. You can read chronologically, and really walk through the timeline with the characters. You can read the books first, and then explore the short stories, novellas, and comics later. Can I start reading The Expanse at book 7? The sixth season centers around the sixth novel Babylon’s Ashes.

The season, which consists of a total of 6 episodes, released its first episode on December 10, 2021, with new episodes premiering each Friday weekly before concluding on January 13, 2022.
