But it works - and it serves as a great example of how to adapt a series from print to screen. While the television series is very much in the spirit of the novels (likely in no small part due to Franck’s & Abraham’s involvement in the show) and largely follows the action of the books, it does tell a slightly different, somewhat condensed version of the events in the printed stories. After a fan petition, Amazon Prime Studios picked up the show and produced the next three seasons, including the upcoming too-short season six. The television version of The Expanse series started, appropriately enough, on the SyFy network where it ran for three seasons before being canceled.

I’m looking forward to seeing how James Holden and his crew pull humanity out of the fire one last time. Īnd, of course, the cosmic powers at odds behind the protomolecule and ring gates hasn’t given up trying to eradicate every life form in the galaxies. This quest will put her on a collision course with the Rocinante and its battered crew, because Teresa boarded everyone’s favorite piece of legitimate salvage at the end of Tiamat’s Wrath.
And we’re told Colonel Aliana Tanaka of the former Laconian Empire is on the hunt for Winston Duarte’s daughter Teresa (and perhaps the missing Duarte himself). Aside from that, the official description from Orbit is fairly vague.īut we know we’ll see the return of scientist Elvi Okoye, the foremost expert on the protomolecule, as she continues to research the gate builders and the force that destroyed them millennia ago. But a larger threat still looms - the long-forgotten enemy of the original gate builders are looking for a means to destroy everything in existence.īy echoing the title of the first book ( Leviathan Wakes, released in 2011), even the name Leviathan Falls exudes a feeling of finality - and Franck & Abraham have promised fans a definitive end to the series. The adventure begins right where the the previous book (2019’s Tiamat’s Wrath ) ended - with all the known solar systems (some 1300 of them, thanks to the opening of the Ring Gates) breathing a collective sigh of relief after the collapse of Winston Duarte’s Laconian Empire. Leviathan Falls, the much-anticipated conclusion to the story centered on the crew of the Rocinante, was released on November 30. Leviathan Falls - Final Book in The Expanse Series The cover to Leviathan Falls, the ninth and final book in The Expanse series. The main focus of the series is the crew of the Rocinante - James Holden, Naomi Nagata, Amos Burton, and Alex Kamal - as they inadvertently find themselves at the center of interplanetary intrigue and war after discovering a strange and deadly extraterrestrial form of life known as the protomolecule. Over time, three main factions have developed - the Earthers (imperious in their feeling of superiority), the Martians (descendants of former Earth humans who colonized Mars), and Belters (a diaspora of humanity spread throughout the asteroid belt and beyond). Humans have left Earth and colonized the Solar System. The Expanse is a hard science fiction series set a few hundred years into our future. Amos Burton warns you to not read further if you don’t want spoilers. If you’ve never read and/or watched The Expanse (or you’re not up to date with the timeline), please be aware that some light spoilers follow. This month marks end of The Expanse with both the release of the ninth (and final) novel in the Orbit series and the sixth (and final) season of the television series on Amazon Prime Video.

December is a thrilling, and perhaps a little bittersweet, month for fans of The Expanse, the long-running space opera from author James S.A.
