Andrew Liptak has published a long interview with Daniel Abraham and Ty Frank, aka James S. A. Corey, the authors of the excellent science fiction series, The Expanse.
A decade ago, I picked up a chunky, promising new science fiction novel, Leviathan Wakes, and found that something in the world really stuck with me: it was both a grounded and ambitious imagination of where we might be a couple of centuries from now.
There aren't many stories that stick with you beyond a reading or two, but over the years, I've found myself returning to The Expanse — in part because there's been a series of regular new installments — but because each time I've returned to it, I've found some interesting new insight into the world.
With that first installment turning a full decade this year (its birthday was back in June), with Amazon's television series coming to a close later this year, and with the final installment of the series, Leviathan Falls, hitting bookstores in November, it's a series that I've been thinking back on for a while.
A couple of weeks ago, I spoke with Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck about that anniversary and what their thoughts are on the legacy of the series, ten years in.
It's a good interview and full of interesting information about how the two authors managed the transition between print and screen for the Sy Fy/Amazon series that is based on the first six books. (AFAIK, the series won't cover the last three, although it wouldn't surprise me if they added some foreshadowing, just in case).
