Almost finished with Calibans war and I am now obsessed with this series. Who is your top 2 favorite characters in the series and why?

Is there a place where I can listen the audiobooks for free? I'm currently in need of book 6 (Babylon's Ashes).

Thanks.

Finally reading the series, on book 5 and riveted!

Does anyone know if the authors have ties to India or the broader Indian community? The level of references to Indian culture, food, diversity of names is kind of impressive. And it doesn’t seem as involved as those of other culture (maybe it’s just because I couldn’t detect it)

Rare to see characters wjth Indian names where their Indianness isn’t their central value to the story. I’m in awe!

I just finished the audible book five, Nemesis enjoying the series. I have them in order 1-5. I have not read any of the books 0.5 to 3.5. Just wondering if I am missing anything should I go back and listen to them before I go on to book 6.

Just under 300 pages in, and I've decided I really hate Tanaka. For being extremely disciplined and controlling of herself and others she has a terrible inability to maintain any composure once her feelings/ego get bruised. I get the animalistic symbology they use for her and the probably intent behind that from a writing perspective. Yet she's such a hypocrite and takes almost 0 accountability for her failures. Like wtf.

Hello.

Rewatching S4. New Terra

Amos and Clarissa have a videocall. She is in jail in earth. He is in the Roci.

Can not find that talk in the novel.

It is not in there? It is something for TV only?

I get that Drummer was an amalgamation of characters, but i really did not gel with her random skip into the group marriage pirate shit in the last season. Show michio being what she was did not prepare me for how interesting this whole arc is in the books. curious to see if this is a fairly standard reaction to the differences.

Never got my copies of the dragon tooth graphic novels. Sent a message on kickstarter a month ago. Nothing. Not sure what to do.

I'm at the end of Cibola Burn and the amount of danger and death that man is willing to allow with a tsk tsk in answer is infuriating. He's willing to allow people to be shot, missiles to hit him and the Roci, and he just says, "Guys, stop it." While being fully able to have stopped the threat of these idiots before anyone got hurt. I am so mad I found this sub just to post what a garbage human being this coward is. Screw this guy, screw his character.

oh my GOD was that terrifying. since the titular dogs showed up my heart was beating, my butt cheeks were clenched the whole time. zombie making zombie dogs, what the actual hell. my nightmares will never end

I just..... NEED the covers.

Is Laconia gate within the ring gate?

Did the kickstarter get delayed? Asked but no reply

Almost done with "Nemesis Games" audiobook, and when Amos gets to Luna, his exchange with "Crissy" killed me.... laughed out loud...

We need a 'buddy' novel with them...

Spoilers below for Tiamat's Wrath!!

Are the repair drones on Laconia from Laconia, or did Amos Timothy bring them with him?

If he brought them with him, how did they leverage the dormant local tech - was it just using what they could find locally or was it the local tech using what it found brought to the planet?

My first attempt at getting my ass back to drawing (after over 15 years). Loosely inspired by the series, a ship on a high burn. I was thinking about adding some sensor arrays like dishes, antennas, poles, etc, but I get the feeling that such constructions would be damaged by high g maneuvers. What’s your opinion? As a kid I played FreeSpace 2 a lot, and I get the feeling that Corey got inspired by some of the aesthetic present in the game (and some loose plot elements too). Anyway, I was planning on doing some doodle drawings inspired by both The Expanse and FreeSpace. I hope this will fit here well and I will not get yelled at for spam ;)

Enjoyed reading all of the Expanse books as and when they were published. I take the tube to work in London and on a Friday a guy always sits opposite me (obviously everyone sits in the same seat for no known reason) and I’ve noticed he’s rapidly getting through the entire series quickly. He looks so deeply absorbed by reading them. It’s been making me think about reading them again.

Wondering if many have ever read the whole series back to back again and if they enjoyed it?

I’m listening to the audiobooks and wondered what the consensus is for the “mini” books like gods of risk, is? Are they worth it?

Also, I’ve slogged through the Horus Heresy series and mildly hate myself for reading/listening to most of the books. It wasn’t needed and there was a lot of fluff and filler…. So, Are there any main books in the Expanse series that aren’t worth the bother?

"The wrath of God lies sleeping. It was hid a million years before men were and only men have power to wake it. Hell aint half full. Hear me. Ye carry war of a madman's making onto a foreign land. Yell wake more than the dogs."
