Black holes do not form without nova ejection event that leaves visible nebula gas cloud for quite a while. If you're looking for a good space opera, I highly recommend this one.īetter story and character side but several big science mistakes other math error - the first glaring to the layman. He is getting better with his character development and the characters in the book are starting to become old friends to this reader. The author continues to get you into the action, and you will find your pulse racing at different points in time - you feel like you are right in the middle of it as a participant. One of the better things (to me, at least) is the technology leaps are believable and didn't make you want to call a foul: you can get your arms (and head) around it without having to stop and think of the science. That's not the case with this series, as you have the exact opposite effect: it slowly started getting better, book #5 was a huge step forward, episode #6 was great, and in episode #7 the crew heads home.
WHERE TO BUY THE EXPANSE BOOKS SERIES
What usually happens with continuations of a series is they start going downhill as the author has either exhausted his or her creativity or the story should have ended long ago. To start, this is book seven in the series - you need to start with Book 1, Ep.#1 - "Aurora: CV-01" (The Frontiers Saga) as this is not a standalone read. If I could have given it two and a half star I would have.
This book really felt like one of the lesser scripts in some mediocre TV-show. Yet he makes one ridiculous decision after another delaying and even endangering their trip home as well as endangering the technology in question to the extent that it might fall into enemy hands. The captain is in a hurry to get home so Earth can defend itself and he carries technology that is vital for this effort. The only action, apart from a little shootout at the end, is when the captain is devising a ludicrous scheme for sending a lone fighter into a Jung hornet’s nest which, of course, goes bad. Instead a lot of the book is spent on testing the new engines and harping a lot about it, harping a lot about whether they were going to be court-marshalled when coming home, doing a detour and finding an old colony ship with a mysterious survivor. The rest of the book is unfortunately not very exciting either. It feels like we are just going on the same, or at least a similar, type of story all over again. This was just so arrrrggghhhhhh! I was really not happy after the last page. This time she is at least not shot to hell but instead almost out of “fuel” for the engines. Instead, even though the Aurora did get back to Earth (briefly), what we really got was a last minute kind of “reboot” that throws the Aurora back as being a lone ship not really knowing what to do or where to go. I was hoping the Aurora would, finally, be coming back to Earth with some of that improved technology and that we would then embark on a new story arc where Earth would build up their fleet and start to defend themselves against the Jung. It was not really surprising since it was said already that the series should contain about 15 books in all. As such the ending is pretty much a huge cliff-hanger. If this was a TV-show this book would constitute the last episode with the sole purpose of preparing the viewers, or in this case the readers, for the next season. I have to say that it did not live up to my expectations. I was quite looking forward to this, the next book in The Frontiers Saga.
