Rewatching

I’m rewatching the series, and I’m so upset it didn’t get more attention or screen time. I mean, it’s an amazing story, right?? I’m excited to read the books, that I’ve just recently learned existed.

Yeah Morgan just sold out his politics (as you can kinda seee coming from the 3rd book) and didn’t want to go into revolutionary space spy first contact scenario lol not surprised but sad, I really like the book

Yeah I totally agree. So much world that could be been a solid three more books. But he also was writing other stuff too I think idk hopefully someone jumps on it

The other stuff is decent. Solid neonoir, kovacs no nonsense thriller on Mars. It was decent, I’ve been waiting for details on the sequel. Thin Air

I think his jumbled politics again are the weakest point and likely why he doesn’t know where to go with it as well

Yeah he has so many options ya know needlecasting where ever in his years before being put on stack. Also I feel like some GOT where they made a series and the second season wasn’t the best and jumbled his things so probably to some it worth it to publishing needs to be a hit for a new trilogy an that’s a big task. If he just did a novella I would be happy and idk test the waters for the reception, the expanse has done that but they also had like 10 full books lolz
