I really enjoyed The Hyperion Cantos, and the first few Dune books I read a long time ago (may reread these now). Can anyone recommend some other books (or series) along these lines? Huge stories on an epic scale, space battles, cool future tech, etc.

    I’ve heard the Expanse books are great, I watched the Amazon series already. Are the books even better?

      I watched the show first (I’ve never gotten past season 4, personally) and I liked the books WAY more. The show added a lot of unnecessary drama that distracted from the overall plot IMO.

      The show is my favorite show of all time and I still think the books are better. If you liked the show, at all, you’ll really like the books. Amos Burton is probably my favorite character in any fictional universe.

      I’m seconding the other guy that the books are even better! Plus they go past the point of the show so you’ll be able to get more out of the world.
