Goodreads review by Baba on May 29, 2024

The Expanse - short stories: Whilst writing the nine book The Expanse series the immensely creative duo of writers that make-up James S.A. Corey managed to churn out these eight short stories / novellas all deeply embedded in The Expanse reality, covering 'back stories', 'what happened next' stories......more

Goodreads review by Joshua on March 22, 2022

I haven't read the final novella The Sins of our Fathers (March 2022) but I re-read all of the others during my read through of The Expanse and so I'm counting it for 2021. [See: Update 2 below] This collection is somewhat uneven but there are some really great stories. If you're loving The Expanse......more

Goodreads review by La Crosse County Library on August 02, 2022

Memory’s Legion is a short story collection set in the Expanse universe. I happened upon it in our library’s new release section and, of course, I had to read it! It is a nice companion to the main series of nine books, giving readers a look at places the novels didn’t get into, and sharing the pers......more

Goodreads review by Rachel (TheShadesofOrange) on May 04, 2022

3.5 Stars I don't tend to read a lot of science fiction short stories but as a huge fan of the Expanse series, I had to check out this collection.  It was enjoyable to be back in this future, but I found most of the stories to be underwhelming. My biggest complaint is that the stories were so isolated......more

Goodreads review by Queralt✨ on March 21, 2022

Memory's Legion is a nice collection of stories that have great relevance in The Expanse world. I like how they did not only relate to what was going on in the actual series, but these tied up nicely with other events that were mentioned in passing within the books (i.e., the reference of Nova Catal......more

Quotes

"Corey deftly weaves multiple points of view to create a dense and colorful tapestry of political intrigue, personal relationships, and sophisticated technology that bursts with action but also delivers an introspective view of the characters as they age and reflect on their purpose and the value of their lives."—Booklist (starred review) on Tiamat's Wrath

"A standout tale of violence, intrigue, ambition, and hope. ... Corey cranks up the tension relentlessly in this fast-paced story of heroes and rebels fighting for freedom. With enough thrills and intrigue for three Hollywood blockbusters, the novel stands alone nicely, making it easy for new readers as well as diehard series fans to dive right in."
—Publishers Weekly on Nemesis Games

"The science fictional equivalent of A Song of Ice and Fire...only with fewer beheadings and way more spaceships."
—NPR Books on Cibola Burn

"Combining an exploration of real human frailties with big SF ideas and exciting thriller action, Corey cements the series as must-read space opera."
—Library Journal (starred review) on Cibola Burn

"The Expanse series is the best space opera series running at full tilt right now, and Cibola Burn continues that streak of excellence."
—io9 on Cibola Burn

"Corey's splendid fourth Expanse novel blends adventure with uncommon decency."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Cibola Burn

"A politically complex and pulse-pounding page-turner.... Corey perfectly balances character development with action... series fans will find this installment the best yet."
—Publishers Weekly on Abaddon's Gate

"It's been too long since we've had a really kickass space opera. Leviathan Wakes is interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written, the kind of SF that made me fall in love with the genre way back when, seasoned with a dollop of horror and a dash of noir. Jimmy Corey writes with the energy of a brash newcomer and the polish of a seasoned pro. So where's the second book?"
—George R. R. Martin on Leviathan Wakes

"An excellent space operatic debut in the grand tradition of Peter F. Hamilton."
—Charles Stross on Leviathan Wakes

"High adventure equaling the best space opera has to offer, cutting-edge technology, and a group of unforgettable characters bring the third installment of Corey's epic space drama (after Caliban's War and Leviathan Wakes) to an action-filled close while leaving room for more stories to unfold. Perhaps one of the best tales the genre has yet to produce, this superb collaboration between fantasy authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck should reawaken an interest in old-fashioned storytelling and cinematic pacing. Highly recommended."
—Library Journal (starred review) on Abaddon's Gate
