Star Wars Day is also Comic Book Day? Getting down my tiny collection to see what I have so I don’t double buy almost covered me in dust bunnies. Also, as I wear a star wars shirt of some sort about once a week, I decided I should put on a star trek red shirt, but I don’t own one. I guess The Expanse will have to do. #maythe4thbewithyou#starwarsday#TheExpanse
Hi! I have no clue what kind of stuff you like. But I just love audio books, so I had to answer.
The classic fantasy novel 'Northern Lights' by Philip Pullman is one of my all-time favourite books and has a well produced audio book with multiple voice actors.
Then there is the 'Stranger Times' urban fantasy series, written by C. K. McDonnell and read by Brendan McDonald. Purely in terms of voice acting those are my favourite audio books, the narrator is brilliant. But they're also great stories and very funny.
My favourite science fiction book series is the 'Expanse' by James S.A. Corey and I can recommend the audio books for this series as well.
More than a little envious that my #SpaceRocks compadres are down in Bordeaux this week, along with Steven Strait (aka Holden from #TheExpanse), who’s taking a trip on the Novespace Air Zero-G plane today, & a crew of fellow astronauts from ESA.
And as on the Rocinante, a good cup of coffee is needed to start the day 🙂👍
The group consciousness described in Leviathan Falls reminds me of losing yrself in Nirvana, or the Great Link of Odo's ppl in DS9. Haven't reached the end yet, but I can understand how it wld B tempting, desirable.
I wonder if it wld apply only to humanity, or wld cats, etc join in. #TheExpanse#philosophy#bookstodon
I made an orange version of my "mag boot" lights inspired by #TheExpanse for visibility when walking around traffic. Might also be useful when on a bike. Thoughts?
Made these "mag boot" lights (red version with arrow pattern) inspired by #TheExpanse to keep me visible when walking around traffic. Could also work for when on a bicycle/motorcycle/scooter. What do you think?

Something I've noticed about #TheExpanse is how YOUNG it casts the lower, enlisted and/or conscripted soldiers in the respective #mcrn and #unn navies.
I appreciate it, makes it feel less idealized and more grounded.
I dunno who needs to know this, but in Canada, at least, AppleTV is selling the entires series of both The Expanse and Battlestar Galactica for $25 each. Last week #TheExpanse box set was $60. This may mean I never subscribe to Prime Video again. #RememberTheCant
@motoridersd S4 (and book 4) are divisive: For most people it’s a slog but some people love it. I did appreciate it a lot more on my second viewing and second reading, but it remains probably my least favorite. If it’s any consolation, they cut a lot from the book in order to add more content to keep Avasarala and Drummer’s characters active for that season of TV. There’s probably only like 5 episodes worth of content if you look only at the parts that came from the book. #theexpanse
Ein erstes Zwischenfazit nach 5 Episoden #3BodyProblem, die angeblich bisher teuerste Produktion von #Netflix und Verfilmung meiner Lieblings-SF Bücher:
Ich glaube Benioff/Weiss/Woo haben einige sehr kluge Entscheidungen getroffen. Die Zeitlinie im China der Kulturrevolution setzen sie fast buchstabengenau um, das war für mich immer der spirituelle Kern der Bücher. Dass der Cast danach westlicher ist als in den Büchern sein wird war bekannt, aber er ist immer noch angenehm divers.
1/4
Fazit nach Ende S01 von #3BodyProblem : Tolle Adaption des nicht einfachen Stoffes. So zum Vergleich - wir sind hier nicht auf dem Niveau von #Chernobyl (wer schafft das aber schon) durchaus aber von #TheLastOfUs.
Und in der Handlung geht es ja dann erst richtig los, das war bisher alles nur Setup.
Liefern müssen sie dann bei Space-Szenen: da kann nur #TheExpanse der Maßstab sein.
Wenn sie nur die Game-Sequenzen besser hinbekommen hätten - vielleicht hätte eine dringlichere Tonspur geholfen.
I just finished the final book of #TheExpanse, and it feels like I've closed a chapter of my life. I began the series about seven years ago and continued through the books over time. I was a different person back then, in a different phase of my life.
The world-building is detailed, yet never dull. It weaves together themes of love, conflict and demonstrates what has connected humanity for centuries.
It’s not about a bright future like in StarTrek but it seems more realistic and believable.
Am I using this little scene where Chrisjen stopped to look and touch the outfit she was wearing while meeting Bobbie on the beach to back up my silly little theories? absolutely! #TheExpanse
