Alex decided it was time to pay the ex-wife a visit on Mars. While the Rosinante was docked at Tycho Station for repairs, Amos went down to Earth to pay his respects to a woman whom he had the utmost respect for. It felt like coming home again, a theme that also had a heavy presence in the novel. This review will contain some spoilers.Īnd it was great to be back with the crew at long last. Cibola Burn ranked quite high on my list of best sci-fi/fantasy novels of 2014, so Nemesis Games was one of my most anticipated novels of 2015.

Interestingly, it’s a series that with each installment, finds a new subgenre of sci-fi for the crew of the Rosinante to traverse, and generally it’s all awesome fun, always delivering a good punch.
#The expanse reading order tv
The series will see it’s tv treatment later this year on Syfy, and it’s expected to be a huge hit for the network, going back to hard space science fiction and all. Corey, the famed writing duo of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, have been consistently churning out expansions to their sci-fi space opera, The Expanse, on a yearly basis. Honestly? This is what EBR has to compete against in the SEO world? I can’t say that I’ve ever actually read a review from either of those sites before, and now I doubt that I ever will again.īut no worries.Another year, another Expanse novel. Not only did they post their “reviews” better than two months early, but their “reviews” consist of what amounts to a book-cover blurb and two sentences of something that might be vaguely interpreted as a “review”. I’m not going to link them because I’m kind of perturbed by both of them right now. And you know what I found? Pages up with “reviews” from both Kirkus and Publishers Weekly. I was curious though as to how many people listened to the request of the publisher, and so I went searching for any sign of preemptive book reviews. The book is slated to be released on March 26th, and so this review is absolutely within that deadline. When I received the eARC of this book, it came with a request that reviews not go up more than two weeks before the publication date. Cause I really should be reading the next book in my queue. Just… you know… don’t tell my boss or anything. In fact, I may just have to start reading this one again. So am I over-exaggerating at all when I tell you I’m even more excited to get my actual book in the mail later tonight, on the date of “publication”, than I was to get the eARC I actually read? Not in the slightest. For some reason, ebooks just make a story seem somehow… easier than they should. When I can see it on my shelf, sitting there staring back at me. It all just seems a bit MORE when I get the physical book. The feel of the paper in my fingers, the visual cue of the turning of the page, the smell of it. I mean, YES, I was uber-excited to get the story early, but there’s just something that I miss about being able to turn the actual pages of a real book.
…and so here I am, writing a review for a book that I haven’t even received in the mail yet, and I realize just how upside-down the world has turned. But who am I kidding, the story is really the part that matters anyhow and it was freaking awesome. A good sign for the authors and publishers, agreed just not such a great deal for those of us that like to look at the complete series on our bookshelves and see continuity. Although I was just the teensiest bit perturbed at the fact that the initial release for new books in this series have been switched to hardbacks. In addition, the series is under contract through book 9. Looks like it’s going to be absolutely fabulous too. Not only is the series really good, the SyFy channel picked it up for a TV series and they’re spending oodles of money on it (more than they’ve spent on any other series before).
Abraham and Franck really have a good thing going for them with this series. Couldn’t wait to get back to Jim Holden and the crew of the Rocinante. I was really excited when I got this book in the mail (which was forever ago, granted.
