The Expanse Series
Made to Order at Juniper Custom in Boulder, Colorado
Some stories can be told within a single book. A rare few require a solar system. James S.A. Corey's Expanse is among them.
Across nine novels and a collection of novellas, the series follows an unlikely crew through a future in which humanity has reached the outer planets but not yet learned to share them. It is a story of politics and survival, of ships and stations pressed to their limits, and of ordinary people whose choices ripple across centuries and light-years. It remains one of the finest achievements in contemporary science fiction, and it earns every inch of shelf space it occupies.
This is the collector's edition that universe deserves, whether for the reader who has followed the Rocinante from Leviathan Wakes to Leviathan Falls, the admirer of the television adaptation who wishes to experience the full story as it was written, or the newcomer ready to begin.

FAQs
How does the jacket design capture the world of The Expanse?
Our designers began with the series' defining tension: the overwhelming scale of space set against the intensely personal stories of the people who travel through it. The nebulae and celestial color fields evoke deep space as the series imagines it, shifting across the ten volumes to follow the arc of the saga. Displayed together, the complete set reads as a single cosmic landscape, a visual journey that mirrors the one Corey offers his readers.
Is The Expanse a good place to begin reading science fiction?
It is one of the finest entry points the genre offers. Where some science fiction favors technical detail over character, The Expanse begins with people: their politics, their loyalties and the complicated reality of a solar system humanity has settled but not yet learned to share. The science is rigorous and the world richly imagined, yet the story is always, at its core, a human one. Beginning with the complete set makes the journey all the easier to embrace.
How does this set differ from the standard Orbit hardcovers?
The books themselves are the same Orbit hardcover editions found at retail. What Juniper Custom adds is the design: custom book jackets that transform ten individually published volumes into a single, cohesive collector's set. Where the standard editions each carry their own cover art, ours share one continuous design language across every spine, so the complete series reads as one extraordinary object rather than ten separate books.
