To me this was almost a horror story but to someone younger it probably does read more like a rebellion story against old fashioned parents. The author's notes at the end really nailed it. Strange Dogs: Of all of these, this is the most necessary one to read as events in the last three books make way more sense. A good read, always interesting to read on a POV that is so far removed from a 'normal' person. The Vital Abyss: We find out how Cortazar ended up the Laconians after the events of Phoebe. Quite long and fairly messed up in places. Features the youth of our favourite sociopath. Set on earth in Baltimore before everything kicks off.

Interesting to see a very early Mars and how the relationship with Earth was put in place for the start of the series. Perhaps one of the best tales the genre has yet to produce' Library Journal 'This is the future the way it's supposed to be' Wall Street Journal 'Tense and thrilling' SciFiNowĭrive: A story based on how the Epstein Drive was invented which is core to the setup of the Expanse series. ![]() Martin 'The science fictional equivalent of A Song of Ice and Fire' NPR Books 'As close as you'll get to a Hollywood blockbuster in book form' io9.com 'Great characters, excellent dialogue, memorable fights' 'High adventure equalling the best space opera has to offer, cutting-edge technology and a group of unforgettable characters.
