Sigh I really don't have time for more gaming but I guess I need to make an exception for this one... The books and TV series are fantastic and I want more on the same.

I binged the books not knowing that the series was done. I was so disappointed when I finished the last book. I didn't want to leave.

I'm sure the Germans have some enormous compound word for the loss you feel when you finish a great series of books or tv.

I went on a long search for anything that had some similarity to the series. To be honest, it's hard since "The Expanse" series is an interesting combination of a few different things that make it unique.

But, I did eventually find a few other series that had their own unique qualities that managed to leave me with a similar feeling when completed. Most recently, the Dead Empire's Fall Trilogy from Walter Jon Williams (and the second trilogy in the same universe). But, I was also really impressed with John Scalzi's Interdependency Trilogy as well. And lastly, the Murderbot Diaries from Marth Wells was a whole bucket of interesting twist on a scifi world that left a truly unique impression on me. Though, the last example is still not complete with a new book coming out this year or next year I think.

Thank you for the recommendations. I just grabbed the first of Scalzi's books.

If it helps it’s doing the episodic thing so only 2 hours or so every 2 weeks for 10 weeks
