#Tv the expanse books series#
Corey's New York Times bestselling science fiction series, the Expanse - now a major TV series I wouldn’t want to see another Expanse book.The action-packed seventh novel in James S. “That would be how I would want to see this. Daniel talked about the 1,300 chances to get it right, and it is just one little story of one of those 1,300 chances of somebody trying to get it right.”īeyond that, the two don’t see themselves returning to The Expanse universe. “What I do hope is that folks who are hungry for more grab the role-playing game or start writing their own stuff…and keep the literary conversation going,” Abraham said. In some ways, it is the conversation about what you have to do next. “It’s probably not what people are expecting, but that’s OK. “It’s a bit of a coda to the series,” Franck said. On the page, the novella The Sins of Our Fathers will appear in the upcoming anthology book Memory’s Legion. So it this all there is to The Expanse? Well, yes and no. I know that there are folks who really like having all of the answers, and that’s great, but I don’t think it’s ever satisfying.” They were always supposed to be the dark gods. And the ring entities, they were always supposed to be mysterious. It was just finding a way to explain it that wasn’t just a graduate lecture. “So all of that was actually pretty well thought out. “We knew a lot about the evolutionary history of the gate builders and how their biology affected what they did, how they saw things differently, and the strategy that we saw in book one of hijacking other life and using that and incorporating it, “Abraham said. Leviathan Falls also tells us more about the alien ring builders than we ever knew before, although there’s plenty about them that’s still mysterious. The Ring Builders step out of the shadows He just seems like the perfect person to do that. So he’s going to say, “Stop being such dipshits.” And when they don’t stop being a bunch of dipshits, he’s going to kill all the ones that are necessary to get everybody else back on board. S a guide for a broken humanity, he seems like a guy, as Daniel said, without sentimentality. “And it turns out that that one thing is very tough to kill.” That said, he does now have a new role: the guy who guides humanity into the next age. “Amos is only one thing, and he’s only ever going to be one thing,” Franck said.
The only character who didn’t change in this way was Amos Burton, on account of his implacable personality. Naomi Nagata, by the way, gets the last line of the book, which the authors apparently had in mind since very near the beginning of the series: “The stars are still there. She was trying to hide behind her hair in the first book. If you look at Naomi, she was trying not to be a leader. “And we did that with a bunch of other characters too. “What we were trying to do was take this very righteous guy with a very strong opinion and spiral him through more and more experiences, depth, uncertainty, and gray until we had him still very much himself, but at a place where he could make this impossible choice, this choice on behalf of everyone, when that’s exactly what he didn’t ever want to do,” Abraham said. So what happens at the end of all things? Well, in order to stop the ring builders from flattening the nature of human existence, James Holden injects himself with the alien protomolecule to let his friends escape the ring gate and finally destroy the rings himself, making an executive decision on behalf of humanity in order to save it, even though he spent much of the book series fighting against people who wanted to do exactly that. WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE EXPANSE BOOKS BEYOND THIS POINT The final book in the series, Leviathan Falls, came out just last month, and Abraham and Franck talked to Polygonall about it.
For 10 years, Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck have been writing The Expanseseries of books, tracing the adventures of James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante as they deal with interplanetary politics, separatist terrorists and finally a race of alien beings intent on subsuming humanity into their hive mind.
