the year in books [IX]



The tenth installment of 2021's Reading Queue is a series of science fiction novels largely dominated by James S.A. Corey's Expanse Series. I tried watching the TV adaptation of his series but just couldn't get into it; the books are far better. The nine-book series ends in November with the final installment Leviathan Falls, which I've already purchased on pre-order and should finish before the year's out. The Expanse Series is hands-down the best science fiction series I've ever read, and it'll be bittersweet to read the conclusion. Other books in this Reading Queue Wrap-Up include John Scalzi's Old Man's War (a fantastic novel), a series of short stories entitled Engineering Infinity, and Niven and Pournelle's Footfall (which wasn't as good as I hoped it would be).
