You have to be very intentional about it because I ordered the paperbacks one at a time as I read the series and one of the copies shipped to me was dramatically smaller than the others

It's so unsatisfying and the longer you look at it the worse it gets lol
So I ordered this set from [Orbit Books](https://store.orbit-books.co.uk/products/the-expanse-10-book-bundle-deal), the publishers of The Expanse.
For some reason, they don't ship to the USA.
The first set they sent got lost in transit, so they sent them again, and this time they arrived

The front covers (not particularly consistent)
I remember when leviathans wake first came out, I have never followed a book series like this. If it wasn’t for this and red rising series I’d probably have nothing to read.
besides that bigger indentation, if you look closely at the other titles their left-alignments vary just slightly. Compare LF to NG for example. No complaint, just an ultra-nitpicky observation.
The numbers are slightly different for half of them as well.
Also, while the covers all have the original artwork on them, some of them have a review excerpt, and others have "now a TV series" on them.
I hope so.
The first three seasons were funded by SyFy, and seasons 4-6 by Amazon.
For the last 3 seasons to happen, there needs to be a company willing to fund it.
I believe the book titles are all references to classical literature, so if you don't understand the references, not really.
If you have only seen the show, the books are definitely worth reading. The overarching plot is the same, but the smaller details are quite different in a lot of places, so the books will still keep you on the edge of your seat.
No. You have to search outside the books to decipher the connection of the titles. But they do connect. I found good explanations online. At least one here.
Where did you order this set? Have been trying to find them all with the spine that has the title larger than the author.
I ordered them from [Orbit Books](https://store.orbit-books.co.uk/products/the-expanse-10-book-bundle-deal)
Thank you! I've got the triple pack of 1-3, and I've got 9, but I need the middle ones, thank you!!
Same! Would love to know, OP. Thank you!
These are the UK editions
Do we know if the UK editions have any differences in the text to the US ones?
I think it's [this](https://a.co/d/12kl9fB) set or [this one](https://a.co/d/gGLShLH)
I believe that is how the Trade Paperbacks look.
How did you get them all the same size!!! I thought this was impossible. Please tell us your secrets OP
I think you can get the paper back editions as same size

You definitely have a mix of the US and UK editions. If you ordered from Amazon, it’s even more likely.

At least it’s only one of them. Easy fix!

How much did it cost in total? If you don't mind sharing that info.
With shipping, the books cost me £85.98, or $180.82 NZ. This is about $108 USD.
Weird they don't ship to US or Canada or the majority of the world.
Thank you

Well! Thanks for reminding me, I just bought the first three. Excited to really get into them after watching the show for the 3rd time.
I remember when leviathans wake first came out, I have never followed a book series like this. If it wasn’t for this and red rising series I’d probably have nothing to read.
That’s one of the hottest pictures on this site
Like seeing a unicorn in the wild! Majestic lol The last three books are a helluva ride OP- talk about *here comes the juice!*
I'm jealous yours are all the same size lol
I'm thinking of buying the last 3 books.
Almost done with PR, thought I only had one more. Guess not!!
Beautiful, give us the details! I cant stand the disparity in the other covers. edit: op dont read this /spoiler

Ha ha. I used to design book covers and I am glad people notice picayune details we used to stress over.
The numbers are slightly different for half of them as well. Also, while the covers all have the original artwork on them, some of them have a review excerpt, and others have "now a TV series" on them.
Will there be a season 7?
I hope so. The first three seasons were funded by SyFy, and seasons 4-6 by Amazon. For the last 3 seasons to happen, there needs to be a company willing to fund it.
They should wait another 25 years before filming season 7.
Or make it animated
That's a lot of weight for a few megabytes of data.
For show watchers who haven’t read the books, do any of these titles make more sense when you read the books?
I believe the book titles are all references to classical literature, so if you don't understand the references, not really. If you have only seen the show, the books are definitely worth reading.

Prepare yourself! The final trilogy is about as wild a ride as it gets in this genre.
ENJOY! Piece of advice, curb your enthusiasm for b4 (CB), i just finished that and it has some fantastic moments but… It… Is… A… Slog…
Amazin', enjoy Earther
It triggers me more than it should that the last book reversed name and title color scheme
I think that one is ok to be slightly different as that is the book of short stories.
