Hi there,

OK, why has no one told me about The Expanse before?!?  Computing lecturer recommended it last week, I picked up the first one as I passed through a bookshop on the way home from work... well you do, don't you?... and am really loving it.

Not quite Traveller of course with no artificial gravity and all in the Terra system (no Jump etc), but the plot and characters and descriptive bits feel very Traveller to me.

No jump? Keep reading. :)

Yeah, the characters are very Traveller, especial Amos, who is a the ex-Army Dude you find on every merchant ship for some reason.

As you get further in, it gets more Traveller with patrons, semi-legal jobs, and all the fun of Broad Character Development!

And shotguns in space!
