The expanse books are great and, like PHM, very accurately grounded in real science (hard SF). I never finished reading the series only because I had watched the show and they did such a good job of faithfully following the books that it just felt like a fresh reread.
I know I’m an outlier, but I didn’t care for 3BP at all. So many of the things people do just seemed unlikely or thinly motivated, and the computer technology seemed somehow both too advanced and not advanced enough in some ways.
