I am a huge fan of “The Expanse” novels by James S.A. Corey, the pen name for the talented writers Ty Frank and Daniel Abraham. I just finished reading “Nemesis Games,” the last of the completed books, and have now started in on the novellas with “Gods of Risk.” There are five completed books with four more planned. Yes, I am that hooked: Eat, dream, sleep “The Expanse.”
The story follows Jim Holden and his crew of the ‘salvaged’ Martian warship the Rocinante as they uncover and make public a conspiracy so great it may bring down the Earth, Mars, and the colonies of the outer belt. What makes this story so unique to me is the interaction of the hard science fiction thematic elements, and the fantastic character development. If you have already taken the red pill and read all the books, the characters in the first five novels are now family and you would ship with them no questions asked. Gútegow!
When I noticed this 2016 San Diego Comic-Con panel video on Youtube featuring most of the cast members of Syfy channel’s “Expanse” TV series, I was delighted. Double bonus when I discovered that the host for the event was Adam Savage of MythBuster’s fame. The video is a little over forty-eight minutes long so you may need a cup of magnificent Earth-brewed coffee for this one, or perhaps one of Miller’s Ice Ball Whiskey Spheres. Enjoy!
