From Little Stack
In The Expanse series, we’re shown what life might look like if humans colonized Mars and began mining the asteroid belt for minerals. While the colonization is limited to our solar system (initially), that’s enough to show the political ramifications of societies rising and seeking independence.
The planet Mars is highly militaristic, but it’s also home to some of the greatest technological advancements, including the terraforming processes that are turning it from a harsh wasteland to a lush paradise.
The introduction of the alien “protomolecule” and the technology to which it gives rise leads to some great changes—and conflicts—that make for a truly gripping sci-fi saga.
Humanity has colonized the solar system—Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyond—but the stars are still out of our reach.
Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt.
When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, the Scopuli, they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted.
A secret that someone is willing to kill for—and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew.
War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why.
Detective Miller is looking for a girl.
One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks.
When the trail leads him to the Scopuli and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything.
Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporations—and the odds are against them.
But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe.
