Forums:

anybody out here read this?  Several books available.

 

or into the tv series? On syfy, I think.

 I read most of the books before I was aware of the tv thing.

Good space opera. not overly technical. Believable, thanks to the Epstein drive . The characters are great, and for the most part the casting is spot on

My son recommended I get on this. Started watching season 1 about 4 weeks ago. I actually thought the storyline was quite detailed.  The relationship  dynamics between Earthlings, Martians and the various  Belter  factions was difficult to grasp. The various accents did not help. In fact after watching the first 6 episodes I realized I could not connect the dots so I watched them all again and it  began to fall in place. The graphics and visual effects are brilliant.  Now In preparation for the 2nd season they put together a 20 minute behind the scenes "recap" hosted by big time fan Adam Savage of Mythbusters called "The Expanse:Expanded".  This was enlightening and almost essential in tying it all together before starting season 2.  And like most good series it gets better and better.

If you like Star Trek and offshoots and  Battlestar Galactica you will like this.  Get on it.

Hundreds of years in the future, things are different than what we are used to after humans have colonized the solar system and Mars has become an independent military power. Rising tensions between Earth and Mars have put them on the brink of war. Against this backdrop, a hardened detective and a rogue ship's captain come together to investigate the case of a missing young woman. The investigation leads them on a race across the solar system that could expose the greatest conspiracy in human history.
