Though with not as many explosions as Leviathan Wakes, Caliban's War is exciting and your favorite protomolecule is once again the center of attention. Instead of two...
I don't know why I like this series so much. It's space opera with lots of military/revolutionary stuff, including tons of blood, death, and dismemberment. This is not something I like reading on such a high percentage of the pages. The characters are sometimes wooden, but the authors somehow mak...
I can't even begin to express how much I love this series. Right now it easily my favorite series in any genre going. A big giant space opera with lots of great characters. A central mystery that passes through every novel and yet the satisfaction of always getting to have a sparkling conclusion ...
A short background story to Corey's "Expanse" series, focusing on what really happened at Anderson Station when Earth-force marines retook the station from protesters, and in particular Col. Fred Johnson, who commanded the salt then later became known as the titular Butcher of Anderson Station as...

The Churn depicted Earth-bound life on "basic" (welfare) - addressing street-level crime, living, and dying in a near-future...
He hadn’t been the sort of man who made bombs out of old metal lubricant drums and mining explosives.He rolled another one out of the little workshop behind his house and toward one of First Landing’s electric carts. The little stretch of buildings spread to the north and south, and then ended, t...
Its sun was a small white star with a tendency to throw off flares massive enough to bathe its three closest planets in nuclear plasma. The fourth and fifth planets orbited beyond that, and then a cluster of four gas giants spun beyond them, each with a constellation of moons surrounding it. Jump...
I could still remember the first time I saw one and the sensation of complete wrongness that overcame me. Over the years, the emotion had settled to a balls-deep paralysis. This was a primary-form, the lowest strata of the Krell Collective, but it was still bigger than any...
