![]() ![]() It's great having the good fortune to come across people who are this talented and are willing to come and play in your sandbox. He's doing the cover art for my solo fantasy stuff now too.Ībraham: Again, it's really nice being lucky. So we're thrilled with the Orbit art crew.įranck: And Daniel also did all of the art for the special edition versions of the books that came out from Subterranean Press. And Lauren's team in the design department has done great work for us with every book. A big part of the reason for the success of the first book is Daniel's cover. We take every opportunity we can to call him out and thank him for that because they were very evocative. What are your thoughts on their contributions to the success of The Expanse?Ībraham: We thank them quite often! Daniel has done the cover for every single one of our books. : Artist Daniel Dociu and Art Director Lauren Panepinto worked wonders with the amazing series cover art. It's a little sad, a little melancholy, and it's also the last album and we're already recording the next one. It's really satisfying to bring something to a good ending, and I think we have a pretty good ending for "The Expanse." And I'm already working on the next project. Did this sci-fi series feel any different than other novel projects you delivered?Ībraham: It's one of those things that in order to do the job I do, I need to already be moving on to the next thing before the last one is completely finished. : You've brought in other book series to their end. And Daniel and I wrote some other stuff for the collection like author's notes for each of the stories and a few other things like that. Included in that book is one final novella that's the coda for the whole project, and the one that happens after the action in "Leviathan Falls." It summarizes what we had in mind for the whole thing.įranck: Yeah, and it's got all the rest of "The Expanse" short fiction which had not been in physical print before this. What can you reveal about what that story contains?Ībraham: This is all the short fiction we've done in "The Expanse" universe, with one exception. : There's one more "The Expanse" novella coming in 2022 that will be included in the "Memory's Legion" collection. We wanted to tell one complete story and have a satisfying finish and hopefully that's what we're delivering. We're not leaving it open for sequels and prequels and side stories. : Can you take us on a speed run of "Leviathan Falls" and what readers can expect?Ībraham: We're going to pay off the promises we've been making in the first eight books and complete the story. It's incredibly gratifying that this many people came along for the ride. I'd love to say that this is all stuff that we deserve and earn but the truth of the matter is, so much of this is just happy happenstance. ![]() ![]() I'm always delighted to have things go well when they go well. Specially Thomas Jane, who simply nails it in a way that makes Miller one of the most compelling and charismatic characters in TV in a long : Now that you've had time to process turning in the final book in "The Expanse" series, how would you encapsulate this 10-year creative run?ĭaniel Abraham: Well, it was awesome and it was weird and it's great to be lucky. That shows in how smartly they use real physics in a way that is almost a character and plot in itself. The special effects are top notch with some incredible gorgeous shots, and and incredible attention to detail. The plot and characters at first feel disconnected and random, but when the series develops, you realize they they fit incredibly well. Later more characters join the plot with the same level of importance like Bobbie the Martian Marine, Fred Johnson, Tycho station head project and one of the OPA leaders and a lot of other complex characters. The series follow several mayor characters across the solar system: Miller, a burn out cop searching for a missing girl in Ceres in the asteroid belt, Avasarala, a ruthless Earther politician who wants to stop a possible war between Earth and Mars, Holden, the 2nd officer in an Ice hauler who sees himself in a situation he never saw coming. The 5th chapter of 2nd season "Home" is one of the best chapters in the history of sci-fi without a doubt. The first season is a more paused space opera, but in the 2nd season the brakes are off, the stakes are higher and its being an even more awesome show. I also realized that the first slowest episodes are much better in a re watch when you know the characters and what is going on. That can threw off a lot of people, but if you keep watching, the series shows everything one can hope in a Sci-fi and space opera series. The first couple of episodes are slower because there are a lot of world building to do and character to present. The Expanse is not an easy series to start. ![]()
