Any book recommendations after finishing all the books? Im considering The Legend of Galactic Heroes by Yoshiki Tanaka.

In 2394 (equivalent to Tiamat’s Wrath), Laconia came out of exile 6 years ago, and there are 280 pulsar-class fast destroyers. In PR, Bobbie says that the Storm has 200 to 250 marines in power armor. This means 56,000 to 70,000 marines are station on pulsar-class destroyers (the only problem being the destroyers could be under crewed or that the storm was over crewed). There are 5,000 original colonists on Laconia, and Gewitter base in Bara Gaon system has nearly 7,000 permanent officers and personnel. So probably at least 78,000 to 82,000, because they still need crews for all the ships. Keep in mind, I’m only counting people born on Laconia, and maybe a few Laconians that were born on Gewitter Base of Medina Station (I’m assuming they still have children). According to Dark_Ops16, in the show 10 ships made transit with 1,700 personnel.

The Falcon was a science ship and long-range explorer built by the Laconian Empire (specifically the Science Directorate). What’s it’s length? How many crew does it have? Is it armed?

What was protogen after during their attack on the donager? It had to be something of enough value to risk an attack on the donager and something that also required them to board the ship to accomplish.

This photo was taken from the opening credits. In the bottom left corner, you can see it is labeled “Mars Habitat No. 315”, meaning there are at least 315 Martian settlements. Right? Also another page, Olympia, has no citation and idk where it is mention?

So why do rail guns work in the slow zone?

"The Juice" ... When Alex is piloting the Razorback, and he says, Here comes the juice", to whoever's sitting behind him, how is the liquid introduced into their bodies? They never say (or show any tubes anywhere)? Just wondering -- since the concoction seems to be very important to the team members' survival, I'd like to see the details addressed. Thanks.

The Expanse Short story Drive : looking for the free audio e-BooK since it was removed from Syfy site.

So I was watching the Io Camping scene again, and when the UNN ships retaliated against one another/the Agatha King I saw these ships.

Could the ones on the left with 4 drives be some UNN warship class we've never seen before? Don't think these are the MCRN Scirocco's as they were approaching via another route. But feel free to let me know anything (including if I catastrophically missed something).

Also (not as important, but possibly something cool):

Does anyone else think the ship in the circle might be a Leonidas-class from the 5 drives?

How did it happen and the UN government didn't nuke the protomolecule's structure when this popped up from the surface of Venus?

That would have been the most logical thing to do as the thing that popped up from Venus was made by whatever "materials" ( organic or inorganic ) Protomolecule used from Eros.

Eros now initial ending point /"target" was Earth, and they knew that, no matter if in the process was redirected to Venus. So the first and most reasonable thing that Earthers should have had done when they saw this thing reappear it would have been to nuke it without any hesitation, because it was way too close to Earth and they didn't know its "intentions".

Why did they leave it to travel all the way from Venus to Uranus and morph into a Ring?

It is a very good question because I can't find any good reason why they left it complete its "work" while they did know that it could have destroy Earth and that it wasn't something inert or harmless.

Im done reading the books and short stories. Great story! Im just waiting for the release of memories legion. I feel wanting for more.

Wanted to learn more about the following:

ring builders,

the linguist,

the immortal Cara and Xan upon going to Sol system,

What happened to Arjun Avasarala,

What happened to Filip, etc.

I am half way through the last book (Leviathan Falls). I am quite confused with how Dr. Okoye acquires insights from her test subjects. Scroll down for the specific question:

Im in the part where the Roci team covertly visited Dr. Okoye in Adro System. How do the test subjects (Cara, Amos, Xan), BFE, and catalyst work together and generate comprehensible language for Dr. Okoye’s team? I am confused with all how it was described, including the presence of the the builders (grandmothers?) and Duarte’s apparition as they conduct the “dive”.

Can we say that Amos and Cara are being used as “mediums” during this experiment?

Off topic: i genuinely enjoyed it when Tanaka’s team was wiped out during the supposed exchange in New Egypt. I thought someone else had struck Tanaka with a sledgehammer (thinking it was Teresa’s Aunt), but surprisingly it was Holden! I like how the authors made me hate the character Tanaka.
