Don’t bother with the TV show

I'm into book six of The Expanse. Haven't started watching season six yet, so this is uncharted waters for me.

Is that Persepolis Rising? That's the one I'm listening to on audiobook right now. I'm only up to speed on S4 of the show, though.

Read The Hike by Drew Magary. Very weird, but I dug it.

Have you read The Postmortal?

I hadn't heard of The Hike, I'll have to look into it.

Grady Hendrix was my neighbor in high school. His mom used to drive me to school. He was an interesting guy back then.

Expanse books spoilers (book 7):

30 year time jump caught me off guard. Going to miss Avasarala.

I thought Avasarala died in the beginning of book 8? Maybe I missed it at the end of 7 - sometimes I drift off listening to the audiobook version. I just started 8, and there's a sense that her granddaughter may have a role going forward.

Not sure if there really was a need to time jump 30 years. I think the story could have been told within 3-5 years. Maybe they wanted to give Holden and crew a break

I think it was to give time for Laconia to grow/expand

That's some impressive longevity if she is still kicking. I'm only 2 chapters in to book 7.

No worries, I'm happy I won't be missing her character.

Well, human lifespans increase in the future due to medical advances.

This is one small peeve I have with the books in general. Have they given any age of any of the characters yet? I keep thinking the same thing; people should be living much longer. But how much longer?!
