Space ships whip across the solar system, ice haulers burn in from the gas giants, stolen Martian corvettes sneak behind enemy lines, and very human characters tie it all together and make the incredible journey worth the ride. Miraculously all 9 books (plus a collection of short stories) are fun, well-done adventures that will keep you turning the pages and racing to find out what happens next. Seriously, if you haven’t read the Expanse yet, it’s time for a treat that goes down easy.

Ben and Nate continue their discussion of Leviathan Wakes by James SA Corey.  The boys really dig into the philosophical meat of The Expanse series on this one. The previous sentence was intended to be sarcastic.

The boys read Leviathan Wakes by James S.A. Corey. We're finally taking a look at the much hyped Expanse series. A number of hard questions must be answered. Does it live up to the hype? Can a book still work for you if you hate its main character? Are lawful good players in D&D the actual worst?

Gab and Blab are back to finish out Leviathan Wakes....

Fans of the book be warned; this probably isn't for you.

Gab and Blab are back, and they're not going to pull any more punches. Fans of the book be warned; this probably isn't for you. If you haven't read the book, don't. Cannot recommend.

Let this podcast act as a warning. 

Welcome to to future Earther. You're about to get spaced.

We are happy to bring you the second installment of our discussion of Leviathan Wakes. 
In this episode, we'll be discussing chapter 7 through 12.

There will be very little about the TV show, though more than I'd like. We're concerned with reading here, and we hope you are too. Read along, and enjoy the discussion. 

If you haven't read the book, we recommend you drop this and read it, quick. Spoilers ahead.
