The Expanse Series
Made to Order at Juniper Custom, Boulder, Colorado
Space has never felt so vast, so dangerous, or so achingly human as it does in James S.A. Corey's Expanse series. Ten novels. A solar system stretched to its limits. Characters whose lives and choices ripple across centuries and light-years. It is one of the finest achievements in contemporary science fiction — a series that earns every one of its devoted readers and every inch of shelf space it occupies.
This is the collector's edition that universe deserves.
The Collection
Juniper Custom's complete Expanse hardcover set brings together all ten volumes of the series in Orbit hardcover editions, each wrapped in our original custom jacket design — swirling nebulae and celestial color fields that evoke the epic scale of space opera and the breathtaking visual language of the cosmos. The design captures the vastness of the world Corey built without diminishing an ounce of its human heart, creating a shelf presence as striking and as considered as the story itself.
The ten volumes included, published by Orbit:
- Leviathan Wakes
- Caliban's War
- Abaddon's Gate
- Cibola Burn
- Nemesis Games
- Babylon's Ashes
- Persepolis Rising
- Tiamat's Wrath

- Memory's Legion
Each set is made entirely to order. Please allow approximately two weeks for production and shipping.

FAQs
How does the jacket design capture the visual world of The Expanse?
Our designers approached the Expanse jacket artwork with the series' defining visual tension in mind — the overwhelming scale of space set against the intensely personal stories of the people who navigate it. The swirling nebulae and celestial color fields that define the design are not merely decorative: they evoke the specific visual language of deep space as the series imagines it, with color fields that shift and evolve across the ten volumes to reflect the emotional and narrative arc of the complete saga. When all ten books are displayed together on a shelf, the full design reads as a continuous cosmic landscape — a visual journey that mirrors the one Corey takes his readers on across a million pages and a thousand years of human history.
Is The Expanse series a good starting point for readers new to science fiction?
It is one of the finest possible entry points into serious science fiction — and one of the most genuinely accessible. Where some science fiction prioritizes world-building and technical detail at the expense of character and story, The Expanse does the opposite: it begins with people, with politics, with the grubby, complicated reality of a solar system humanity has colonized but not yet learned to share. The science is rigorous and the world is extraordinarily detailed, but the engine of the story is always human — which is what makes it as compelling to readers who have never picked up a science fiction novel as it is to lifelong devotees of the genre. Owning the complete ten-volume set from the start makes the journey significantly easier to commit to.
How does this set compare to the standard Orbit hardcover editions available in bookstores?
The underlying books are the same Orbit hardcover editions you would find through standard retail — what Juniper Custom adds is the jacket design that transforms ten individually published volumes into a unified, visually cohesive collector's set. Where the standard editions each carry their own distinct original cover art, the Juniper Custom set creates a single, continuous design language across all ten spines — so the complete series, displayed together, reads as one extraordinary object rather than ten separate books. For a devoted fan of The Expanse or a collector who wants the definitive shelf edition of one of science fiction's greatest achievements, the difference is immediately and permanently apparent.
