The Expanse is a series of science fiction novels, novellas, and stories by James S. A. Corey, the pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012.
As of 2016[update], The Expanse consists of six main novels and five shorter works (two prequel short stories, one prequel novella, one novella set between Caliban's War and Abaddon's Gate, and one set around the events of Nemesis Games). Three more novels are planned, as well as two more novellas. The series has been adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse. The series premiered on streaming services on November 23, 2015, and on Syfy on December 14, 2015.
The series mainly follows captain Jim Holden and the crew of the salvaged Martian warship Rocinante as they stumble into the greatest conspiracy that mankind has ever known, going against greedy corporations, corrupt politicians, and warmongering admirals to get the truth.
In addition, Andy Weir's novel The Martian takes place in the same continuity as The Expanse. This link is made semi-canon with the mention of a ship named the Mark Watney, based "out of Mars," in Babylon's Ashes.
Three novellas have been published. The first published, entitled Gods of Risk, was released on September 15, 2012. The story takes place between Caliban's War and Abaddon's Gate. On April 29, 2014, Corey released the prequel novella The Churn as an eBook. The third novella, entitled The Vital Abyss, was released on October 15, 2015.
All of the novels up to Babylon's Ashes and all the novellas have been released as audiobooks, with Jefferson Mays as the narrator for all novels (except Cibola Burn) and the novella The Vital Abyss. Erik Davies is the narrator for Cibola Burn and the first two novellas that were released (Gods of Risk and The Churn).
