"Next three books"!?!

I'm assuming you wrote that sarcastically. For what it's worth, I've read that the next books is supposed to be the final one (Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Expanse_(novel_series)). If that's the case, "Corey" will either pull it off - or not.

The series has been so good so far, that I'm betting they will bring it to a satisfying conclusion.

As for the television series, in my opinion it is every bit as good as the books, at least in part because the show knows that even long-form television can't include everything. So it has compressed things, rearranged other things and changed emphases when necessary. As a fer'instances, Avasarala shows up in the first (or possibly second) episode.

Long story short, it's pretty brilliant television. And since "Corey" are also executive producers, and have written many of the scripts, maybe we shouldn't be surprised. Or maybe we should; an awful lot of writers of fiction, don't seem to have a clue when it comes to writing for the screen.
