The Expanse
Humanity has colonized the Solar System but remains politically divided. Earth is run by the United Nations, Mars is a powerful militarized republic built around terraforming, and the asteroid belt is populated by exploited “Belters,” who live in harsh conditions and develop their own culture and language. Tensions between these factions resemble a cold war constantly on the edge of open conflict. Everything changes when humanity discovers the “protomolecule,” an ancient alien technology capable of rewriting biology and physics. The discovery triggers conspiracies, wars, and eventually the opening of ring gates leading to thousands of habitable star systems. At the center is the crew of the gunship Rocinante, who become entangled in system-wide politics, corporate greed, revolutionary movements, and the mystery of a long-dead alien civilization—and whatever destroyed it.
