NOW AN AMAZON PRIME TV SERIES

'Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be' George R. R. Martin

Humanity

has colonised the solar system - Mars, the Moon, the Asteroid Belt and

beyond - but the stars are still out of our reach.

Jim Holden is

an officer on an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the

mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew discover a derelict

ship called the Scopuli, they suddenly find themselves in

possession of a deadly secret. A secret that someone is willing to kill

for, and on an unimaginable scale. War is coming to the system, unless

Jim can find out who abandoned 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 Holden, they both realise this girl may hold the key to everything.

Holden

and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth government, the

Outer Planet revolutionaries and secret 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.

The Expanse is the biggest science fiction series of the last decade and is now a major TV series.
