    I’m waiting for that feeling to reeeally set in before I reach for book 10, which is a collection of the short stories that came out in between novels. I’ve also got the 4 comic book series on my wish list, too. I know Wes is helping write the current series Expanse: A Little Death and that’s enough of a draw for me.

    we’ve also been blessed with a new series from the boys behind the pseudonym - the first book is called The Mercy of Gods and I’ve heard good things!

      Oh yes! I have the short story collection and I read them in between books on my second time through. They are fantastic! I participated in the Kickstarter for the Dragon Tooth comics, they gave out some cool little things with it. The DT comics are really good too. I will def look into Wes’s stuff, I love that guy. I know Amos is everyone’s favorite character, I like him too, but Miller is my favorite. I wish I could find more scifi noir books with characters like him.

      I did pick up the first book in their new series, I haven’t read it yet though. I keep hearing good things, but I want to wait until book 2 is closer because I know I’ll want to dive right in. Unless the authors seriously fuck up the series, or any of their series for that matter, they are pretty much guaranteed to get some of my money. I adore their science fiction stories so much and they are great writers.

        Miller and, by association, Thomas Jane will always have a place in my heart. I was so glad I got to witness his story wrap up in the most delightful and unexpected way.

        I also just heard TJ was cast as Bones for the final season of Star Trek: SNW, and say what you will about that show, but I, for one, am* looking forward to seeing Jane back on the role of Grumpy Older Guy in Space™
