I dread to think how many books GRRM's former assistants have smashed out in the time it's taken him not to write one.
Anyway:
As a big fan of Mass Effect, this book sounds something I'd like to read.
Dance of Dragons: 2011
Leviathan Wakes: also 2011.
So uh, they wrote the whole damn Expanse, and made a TV show out of it before GRRM has done one book.
If I'm not mistaken, James SA Corey is an alias for two writers.
Point still stands though.
Yeah Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham
Yep, it is.
Looks like I typoed a 'they' in my post that would have probably clarified that a little better, so oops, my bad.
He wrote and edited other books. Just not Winds of Winter.
I recommend it.
The first book kinda leaves you blue-balled because it ends just as you start getting some answers. It does have encounters with several kinds of aliens, tho.
And the problem is kind of inevitable if you're creating a series and want to have narratives that span from one book to the next, and across the series.
That said, while the first book certainly has a couple self-contained arcs, it did end up feeling like setup the whole way through.
That's literally my only complaint though, and it amounts to "I can't wait for more".
Definitely blue balls you haha. The 1st novella is really interesting too in a whole different way. I love that they kept up that tradition of a expanded universe between books haha.
