Order of Expanse Books

The Expanse represents a groundbreaking science fiction saga crafted by the writing duo James S.A. Corey (the collaborative pen name for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck). This compelling series centers on Captain Jim Holden and his crew aboard the Rocinante, a salvaged Martian warship, as they uncover humanity's most earth-shattering conspiracy. Their journey pits them against powerful corporate interests, dishonest political figures, and military leaders bent on conflict as they struggle to expose the truth.

James S.A. Corey launched The Expanse universe in 2011 with Leviathan Wakes, and the series continues to evolve. Here you'll find James S.A. Corey's Expanse novels listed in their original publication sequence:
