The Expanse is a science fiction series of novels written by James S. A. Corey, the pen name for a collaboration between Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.

The Expanse consists of nine main novels and eight shorter works (two prequel short stories, one prequel novella, one interquel short story, and four interquel novellas). One more novella is planned that will be set after the main book series. The series will be complete at nine novels, with a completation book which will mosty include most of the short works stories.

A television series based on the books, also named The Expanse, completed production and started airing on the Syfy channel in December 2015, [1][2][3] where it ran for 3 seasons until it was picked up for 3 additional seasons by Amazon Prime Video.[4][5][6]

A digital comic book prequel miniseries The Expanse Origins was published in 2017 and an interquel 4-issue miniseries just called The Expanse will be released in late 2020 (probably all before Season 5 premiere).
