Franck describes the series as “the disappointing love child of Frank Herbert and Ursula le Guin,” which, if we’re being honest, sounds pretty great to me.The biggest SF series of the decade comes to an incredible conclusion in the ninth and final novel in James S. Also, an additional, exclusive novella will be included with the RPG.Ībraham and Franck have no plans to break up the band they have already sold another three-book series to Orbit under their collaborative nom de plume. There are plans for an additional novella to be released after Leviathan Falls and the possibility of a collected edition of all of The Expanse novellas and short stories.

For a long time, new Expanse books would come out in December and it would be the last book I read for the year. The books were my entreé to the world of the The Expanse, though, so the series coming to an end is definitely a milestone. We had one another’s backs when it turned out one of our heroes was actually a villain.

Pages: 543 pages (Kindle Edition) Published: 26th March 2019 by Orbit. We had the opportunity to see the universe we love realized on the small screen, felt the heartbreak of its cancelation, and screamed with joy at its resurrection. Series: The Expanse (Book 9 of 9) Genre: Sci-fi, Space Opera. As the series progressed, the characters, and the other fans we met through them, became family (#screamingfirehawks forever). Next, we met, and immediately fell in love with, Chrisjen Avasarala and Bobbie Draper in Caliban’s War. The saga started in 2011 with Leviathan Wakes in which we were introduced to Jim Holden, Naomi Nagata, Alex Kamal, and Amos Burton – the only survivors of mysterious attacks against the ice hauler Canterbury and the MCRN Donnager – and Joe Miller, a cop with a higher calling.
