James S. A. Corey
In the vast universe of modern science fiction, few names have reshaped the genre quite like James S. A. Corey—a pseudonym that conceals a powerful creative duo: Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. Their collaboration gave birth to The Expanse, a sweeping space opera that redefined political intrigue, interplanetary tension, and character-driven storytelling on a galactic scale. With its gritty realism, moral complexity, and vast yet intimate scope, the series captured the imagination of a generation hungry for science fiction grounded not in fantasy, but in plausible futures.
The Expanse
Humanity has reached the stars—but it’s still haunted by its oldest problems.
The Expanse begins not with a heroic mission or utopian dream, but with a missing girl and a mystery that pulls at the fragile threads of a solar system on the brink. Mars, Earth, and the scattered colonies of the Belt live in uneasy balance, each burdened by political tension, economic disparity, and centuries of mistrust. And then something ancient awakens.
The Expanse consists of nine primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
