The Expanse Officially Gets a Major Release in December: Three Novels Return
Three books arrive in December
Cibola Burn, Nemesis Games and Babylon’s Ashes are scheduled to arrive on December 8. Each hardcover will cost $40 in the US. The books are the fourth, fifth and sixth installments in the novel series that inspired The Expanse television show. The series was written under the name James S. A. Corey, shared by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.
A story across the solar system
The Expanse began on Syfy in 2015 and ran for six seasons, ending in 2022. Its story follows humanity as it spreads across the solar system. The setting features political divisions: Earth is governed by the United Nations, while Mars has a separate military government. The two powers are frequently at odds over their differing ideologies.
The novels continued beyond the show
Abraham and Franck concluded the main novel series in 2021. Their short-fiction collection Memory’s Legion followed in 2022. The three December releases revisit books from the original series, extending the reach of a story that continued in print after the television show ended.
