Beschreibung

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

Erst Serie oder erst Buch?

Normalerweise liest man erst das Buch und dann schaut man den Film bzw. die Serie. Hier finde ich, ist genau das Gegenteil interessant. Ich habe vor bestimmt 2 Jahren die kostenlose Prime-Serie „The Expanse“ begonnen und zu Ende geschaut nach 6 erfolgreichen Staffeln. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Space-Serie, die von den Hauptcharakteren Jim Holden und seiner Crew sowie dem Cop Joe Miller handelt. Ich möchte eigentlich gar nichts weiter zu der Serie bzw. dem Buch sagen, weil ich nicht spoilern möchte. Alles was man sagen kann ist, dass es zwar eine Space-Serie ist, welche aber extrem realistisch umgesetzt wurde (anders als bei anderen Space-Serien s. Star Wars). Ziel der Serie ist es, mehr über das sogenannte „Protomolekül“ zu erfahren, welches sozusagen der Antagonist des Buches darstellt. Mehr oder weniger. Daher kann ich nur soviel sagen, dass die Serie so gut umgesetzt wurde, dass es sich nahezu lohnt erst die Serie und nachher das Buch zu lesen, was keinerlei Kritik gegenüber dem Buch darstellen soll. Auch wenn ich „das Ende“ bzw. den Verlauf der Geschichte schon kenne möchte ich die weiteren Bände lesen und bin dennoch gespannt wie sich die Teile, die leider nicht verfilmt wurden, verhalten.

If you like Firefly, you should try it.

4.5/5 "And for a moment, he was tempted. In that hesitation between drawing breath and speaking, part of him wondered what would happen if he shed the patterns of history and spoke about himself as a man, about the Joe Miller who he'd known briefly, about the responsibility they all shared to tear down the images they held of one another and find the genuine, flawed, conflicted people they actually were. It would have been a noble way to fail."

A thrilling and gripping page turner for a loooong series (9 books in total). This feels like a prologue for a huge setting with lots going on but on the other hand could also be read as a standalone. I'll definetly will continue the expanse! The setting gave me some vibes from shadowrun, cyberpunk, dead space and even bladerunner reading this.

I loved the show and with the long hiatus just couldn't help myself and had to delve into the books. I have to give credit where credit is due. The author came up with a most original space travel system and fleshed out communities of humans with their own agendas and struggles.
