The books are great, the TV series is great (albeit cut short and with story lines left hanging), and the audiobooks are great.
Leviathan Wakes is the explosive start to The Expanse, a space opera with gripping action, political intrigue, and unforgettable characters.
Length: 19.2 hours.
Jefferson Mays is an amazing narrator. So good I remembered his name
If you're on the fence about reading these - just do it. Such a great series.
Please hand in your OzB membership. Don't pay for audio books, use Libby and Hoopla. Your local library provides you access included in your local council rates.
This audio book is available in both apps.
Not all libraries have it on the shelf. I just did a search and although it came back with a result, the book isn't in my libraries catalogue
he's talking about the audio book not a physical book - almost every public library should give you free access to Libby or Hoopla for free - this book is available on there
No, that's precisely what @sphinxy is driving at. Not every library has every ebook or audiobook on the (virtual) shelf. So while you may have access to Libby, you still may not be able to borrow a particular digital title. It's restricted by the library you're registered through. I literally just searched in Libby, and for this exact book I get this message:
"This title is not in your library's catalog. Tag it to receive a notification if the library acquires copies."
Hoopla doesn't even know my local library.
Amazing series, highly recommended.
Up to book 8 right now. It becomes very drawn out but still a fun read.
This might have to be my next listen after finishing stormlight archive.
Love this series, i was so happy when it got made into a great TV show. If you like politics, semi-hard sci fi and for the first book, a hardboiled detective story, you will love it as much as I do.
I'm just over half way through Cibola Burn. They're great audiobooks so far. Jefferson Mays does an incredible job. I watched the show a few years back, and will probably go through another watch after I finish the books.
Any recommendations on something similar and good?
I hear Red Rising is good, but I'm not sure how similar it is.
![[Audiobook] Leviathan Wakes by James S. A. Corey - The Expanse, Book 1 - $9.99 @ Kobo](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/36/890336.jpg?h=effb9e8f)
Easily the best book in the series (I've only read the first 6 though), well worth a read/listen.
