THE EXPANSE BOOKS SERIES
The premise for the show, which premieres Monday night at 10 p.m., is certainly titillating, but how does it compare to the original novels? Here's what you should know about Syfy's adaptation. The Expanse, a board game based on the Syfy television series of the same name, focuses on politics, conquest and intrigue similar to the board game Twilight Struggle, although with a shorter playing time.The card-driven game uses key images from the show, along with action points and events that allow players to move and place 'Fleets' and 'Influence'. Book 2 in The Expanse Trilogy continues the story of life in the near future where humans have expanded out into our solar system. The division has caused each society to evolve differently, and the tension that exists between them is on the brink of escalation, according to the on-the-nose title cards that introduce the set-up during the opening scenes of the show. Corey ( which is a pen name for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck), The Expanse is set 200 years in the future and follows the adventures of humankind that now not only inhabits Earth, but Mars, Saturn, and a belt of asteroids that encircles all of the "inner planets" as well.
Originally a series of novels written by James S.A. Syfy's highly anticipated premiere of The Expanse is surely exciting, but did you know that the show is based on a series of novels? It joins Childhood's End as the second Syfy show to use literature as the source material, and since popular opinion always believes that "the book is better," I'm curious to see how The Expanse book and TV show compare.
