>>98062180Even with the alien stuff in the middle (which becomes more important as time goes on), the show and the books never lose the focus of the factions, as in no matter what new untapped resources humanity finds, they use them to make war and to dominate over others. That's sort of what I can tell you about it without spoiling much. I'm a huge fan of the series, I've read every book and the show is to me I've of the most accurate adaptation I've seen even with the changes made for TV. While people moan about how Star Trek Discovery is all dark and gritty now, they're massively sleeping on The Expanse as a breakthrough show.
By the way OP, you should check World Reader by Jeff Loveness. It's a minimalistic, psychedelic sort of comic about a girl in a special exploration program that can "read" planets and seek traces of life in them, like a space medium. It's gorgeous.
