ITF Read: Leviathan Wakes (2011 novel) part one

The Expanse series by James S. A. Corey is the creation of co-authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, borne from developing a setting for a game, and now is an epic series spanning multiple novels and a massive TV series on Amazon about to premiere its 4th season! In episode 115, Luke & James get their first taste of life on the belt when they go back to where it all began with the first half of LEVIATHAN WAKES.

Topics: Author connections to George RR Martin, the Noir-hardboiled-detective meets a SciFi-western ship captain, Tabletop RPG roots, what is permissible in "hard scifi," the Ceres station world-building, the Star Trek feels, a Watchmen reference, and a potential Blade Runner homage.

Join Luke & James next week when they return next week to cover the first five episodes of THE EXPANSE television series!
