James S.A. Corey's 'Cibola Burn' is another gripping, fast-paced entry in their SF-adventure 'Expanse' series. I enjoyed it enormously.

You know, I hate Pet Sematary and all of that, but theres a #theExpanse plotline in Strange Dogs that hits all the same notes and I kinda love it. It builds up so much in the books. Sometimes in the TV show because they only do the Pet Sematary plot it feels like a relief because in the books its actually so much worse. @bookstodon #amReading #Expanse
That’s the thing about autocracy. It looks pretty decent while it still looks pretty decent. Survivable, anyway. And it keeps looking like that right up until it doesn't. That’s how you find out it's too late.

I like the Dragon Age, Fantasy AGE systems. I do think they suffer a little bit from not having the vast trove of monsters, magic items and lore that D&D has.
Curious to see how the system works for a sci-fi rpg.
I have only skimmed the rules so far, but I applaud the writers for getting the first page of the GMs section right.

Da bin ich auf Seite 139 und weiß wohin mich die Geschichte führen wird (dank Serie) und doch fühlt es sich als neu an beim Lesen. Schön das viele Teilaspekte in den Büchern der Serie, dann doch genauer und auch anders sind. Ich bin immer noch begeistert von #theExpanse als Buchserie
It has nothing to do with me. We're just caught up in the churn, is all. When the rules of the game change. When the jungle tears itself down, and builds itself into somethin' new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. It doesn't really mean anything. Or we happen to live through it, and well, that doesn't mean anything either.

Prime Video's Upcoming Sci-Fi TV Show Means The Expanse Season 7 Could Still Happen
"According to Variety, Amazon Prime Video is developing a TV adaptation of James S.A. Corey's planned book series, The Captive's War. The first novel, The Mercy of Gods, was published in August 2024, and two more are on the way. Aside from the upcoming TV show being based on books by the same authors as The Expanse series, several other major names from the beloved sci-fi show are also working on The Captive's War."

I think I'm going to reread the 5000+ pages of the Expanse series. I need to be distracted and that will do it. #Bookstodon #TheExpanse
Avasarala: "You ask how I would protect Earth from another Eros incident? That's a good question, and here is my answer: the same way I did last time"

Amos: "He'll only help as long as evacuating the Belters is easier than shooting them"
Murtry: "You people act like I'm the bad guy here. I came on a peaceful mission. These squatters drew first blood"
Holden: "And you used it to justify murder"

Inaros: "There are brothers and sisters alive in the Belt today because you took food and medicine and air from the oppressor and you gave it to them"

Ashford: "This one of yours, ke?"
Inaros: "I certainly hope so. Lot of missiles on that ship"
Drummer: "They not gonna shoot us with him aboard"
Inaros: "I agree. They're going to board you"
Ashford: "Well, they won't enjoy the experience"
