#The expanse books series

Centering on humanityвЂ™s exploration of the solar system and beyond a few hundred years into the future, the series combines a richly developed world with memorable characters and brisk pacing.

Along with the television series-which has aired on two different networks-have come nine books, numerous complementary novellas and comics, role-playing and board games, and hundreds upon hundreds of plot twists, shifting alliances, and torpedo rounds fired by the Rocinante, the seriesвЂ™ flagship and spiritual-if not also physical-home.Д®ven in a mass of bold, imaginative space operas that have reinvigorated the genre in the last decade, The Expanse shines bright.

Its callback this season emphasizes just how far The ExpanseвЂ™s story has traveled. вЂњThe Canterbury? I havenвЂ™t thought about that in a while,вЂќ one says.ДЄnd neither, most likely, have the seriesвЂ™ fans-the Canterbury exploded six years ago, for television viewers, or 10 years ago, for readers of the novels upon which the show is based. Midway through the sixth and final season of The Expanse, which premieres on Amazon on Friday, two characters reminisce about the Canterbury, the ice hauler whose destruction all the way back in the showвЂ™s pilot catalyzes the exhilarating plot to come. EditorвЂ™s note: Following the series finale of The Expanse, we are recirculating this piece, which originally ran prior to the Season 6 premiere.
