[Beauseant]

Thank you for letting me know there are books! Now I can read them instead of hating life for not being able to watch the show because of work!

 

[AirmanX]

You are welcome Sir! They are a good read.

 

[Beauseant]

Who wrote them?.... I could google it but I'm at work and there is no one to talk to lol

 

[AirmanX]

James S. A.Corey

 

[Beauseant]

Why does google play almost never sell collections of books? If I'm going to read one, I'm going to read them all ugh... lol

 

[AirmanX]

I have no answer....I get them from Library or buy them at book store.

Actually, The Expanse is partly to blame, I mean responsible, I mean the inspiration for my pulling the trigger on SC - really enjoying it so far, good production value and reasonably well acted with a good story line. I like the mostly Newtonian physics (at least compared to most sci-fi media), best since Babylon 5. Already been approved for Season 2 I believe which is good, I am tired of getting into a good show (e.g., Almost Human) only to have it cancelled.

Cockpit is my Yakovlev Yak-52, similar to T-6 but smaller, fully aerobatic (+7/-5 G's).

Nice........Not a pilot ( I wish I was) But was in the Air Force, Ground crew. I play flight sims as far as I have gotten so far.

I've read all the books and watched the entire series so far. Even my wife likes it, and she hates sci-fi. The author of the books is actually a collaboration of authors, which I think helped the small screen adaptation. They did an amazing job with casting and have so far done a great job of bringing the characters and universe alive, while avoiding the 'cheesiness' that seems to come along with many other SyFy shows.

I agree,but how on Ceres could they take Millers Hat away!!
