The war in the expanse is starting to get brutal. It was already brutal but there is some cold blooded crap going down now.

Separating the Martians and Earthers (Men women and children) out by telling them that they were transferring to another ship headed for the inner planets only to blow them out an airlock was cold. Then to pat  Prax Meng on the back telling him how lucky he is to be a belter after watching his friend blown out an airlock.

The belters are starting to look like palestinians.

Up close & personal with the cost of revolution, in a beautifully horrible & timely ‘Expanse’

I got a Kindle alert the other day for a book called "Leviathan Awakes" by James Corey.


It seems to be the book that inspired The Expanse.

Looking for lots of books to read in rehab. Any recommendations?  Is it good? haven't seem the TV series.

Thanks.

Oasis is such a common name for worlds in science fiction, I have a novella by the title.

Habitable planets are kind of like oases.

 I'm guessing "Eden" or "New Eden" are also fairly common in sci fi.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I think the movies are supposed to mimic real life and not the other way round?

I watched it last night. It didn't really capture my interest. Not bad, just not to my taste I guess.   :shrug:
