À propos de cet audio

From a New York Times bestselling and Hugo award-winning author comes a modern masterwork of science fiction, introducing a captain, his crew, and a detective as they unravel a horrifying solar system wide conspiracy that begins with a single missing girl. Now a Prime Original series.

Humanity has colonized the solar system—Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and beyond—but the stars are still out of our reach.

Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, the Scopuli, they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted. A secret that someone is willing to kill for—and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his crew. War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who left the ship and why.

Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When the trail leads him to the Scopuli and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes that this girl may be the key to everything.

Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive corporations—and the odds are against them. But out in the Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change the fate of the universe.​

"Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written." —George R. R. Martin

Not the best book ever written, but enjoyable and exciting enough. I would this book recommend to any science fiction fan

Good enough to finish the series.

As I'm sure many have, I came to the Expanse books after watching the excellent (well, except season 6) TV show. So, I largely know how the overall plot of the series goes. However, I'm invested enough in the universe and the characters that I wanted to start going through the books to get more detail and context. While the first book will do that, you'll definitely recognize a lot of the key events if you've watched the series, as well as some surprising omissions. None of the "political characters" make an appearance in this volume, even though they would have been well introduced at this point in the show. It'll be interesting to see if that happens in future books.

The narrator initially didn't click with me, but after the first hour or so, I found that he did a really good job of conveying the story and the different characters. I really appreciate that he was able to clearly distinguish when female characters were talking, while not doing that often cringey thing some narrators do of trying to imitate female voices, even through they're male. The one complaint I have is that the authors use way too much "X said" and "Y said" during conversations, especially during ones where there's only two characters talking and it's very obvious who is speaking because the narrator voices them differently. Overuse of this is a pet peeve of mine and I hope it's something they improve in future books.

Even if you haven't seen the show, I think this is the beginning of what I hope will be an epic sci-fi series. And if you have seen the show and just want more Expanse to fill in between the lines, this is well worth it too.

I've read the book, watched the TV show, and now listened to this presentation three times. the book is (books are) brilliant, the show is fun, but this is my favorite version by far. Jefferson Mays' performance is just pitch perfect in every way.

Worth multiple listens
