""I am that book!" So declared Leviathan Wakes in 2011 when James S. A. Corey published it. And, to quote Chrisjen Avasarala, they weren't bullshitting. The Expanse series is a phenomenal science fiction read that delves into the greatest questions of human life, a part of the "literature of progress" that challenges our everyday world by thrusting human life out to Mars, the outer planets, and worlds beyond the Ring Gates. And when The Expanse premiered on the SyFy channel, it declared with equal strength: "I am that show!" You know the one, the one we've been searching for that is better than any other sci-fiseries out there. The Expanse TV series has wonderful characters, cast, and filming, and dialogue that pulls us in and doesn't let go. The TV series is particularly phenomenal for me. See, I suffer from aphantasia-pictures don't populate my brain like they do most people, and it's not from some transcranial magnetic stimulation. I feel empathy just fine, and when reading books, I lose myself in thecharacters. But I don't see the Roci searching the stars for a safe harbor or picture Jules-Pierre Mao kneeling at the feet of Avasarala. Watching the Rocinante on screen, seeing the torture that Naomi goes through to save people's lives, only makes me love ths and the characters more"--
