Read “The Expanse Expanded” (and maybe buy it, too)

I mentioned a few weeks back my involvement with The Expanse Expanded, a special issue of the magazine Red Futures edited by Jamie Woodcock – a collection of essays on various aspects of The Expanse, both the novels and the TV series (and the roleplaying game too).

Now, for those that are interested, at this link you can download the ebook version of the volume, in a variety of formats, free of charge. You can also find a link to buy a physical copy of the volume – which I recommend, but then, I would, wouldn’t I?

Have fun – and if you read the book please drop me a line to tell me what you think, or even better, post a review online.
Thanks!

Expanding ‘The Expanse’

I discovered The Expanse during a book haul, back when Leviathan Wakes was all that existed of the series. After reading the books, I went on to be a fan of the TV show, and I like The Expanse RPG a lot.
The Expanse universe ticks all my boxes as a reader of science fiction, as a writer of science fiction, and as a player of science fiction games.

Now, the British online magazine Red Futures, is about to publish a special issue called The Expanse Expanded, edited by Jamie Woodcock, that will hit the shelves in the first week of July, but can be pre-ordered from the magazine’s website.

The Expanse Expanded is a collection of essays exploring the many different facets of the Expanse universe – and its real-world fandom – from a progressive and leftist perspective.
The volume includes a piece by me, called The Politics of the Anthropocene: Environment and Society in The Expanse, in which I finally am able to put to good use both my PhD in environmental sciences and my misspent youth as a reader and writer of science fiction.
