For me, it's King's "Fairy Tale". I think it would make a great movie. Here is to hoping that Hollywood hears my prayers. Lol

The last 3 expanse novels

Man, I have these books and I never got to read them. Are they good?

This is not hyperbole:

The best science fiction story I have ever read.

The most satisfying end to an epic story I have ever read.

9 novels and an entire novel full of short stories like almost 10k pages of the most engaging story ever.

Awesome characters, hard sci fi tech, cosmic horror and it’s all relatable.

Each book is like its own contained story too and each one has a distinct flavor.

Seriously the show was cool but not perfect. Those books man. Holy cow.

Imagine if George rr. Martin actually finished a song of ice and fire.

These dudes finished their story. It’s amazing

I am going to re-read it now

Shit, then let me stop reading this slog (the wheel of time) that has been like pulling my intestines out of my mouth by a child. I'm seriously going to stop it and start reading the expanse. That's it. I'm done. 😂

And their two new Captive’s War books, Mercy of Gods and Livesuit, are epic AF. It’s gonna be an amazing series.

The last 3

Why the last three? Are there not only three of them? I haven't actually read them so I might have been wrong.

The first six had been made into a series on Amazon prime. (More or less)

The last 3 would be a huge challenge to do as a tv show.

Without spoiling it I cannot explain why

Rest are covered by the TV show
