I'm imagining Bobby Draper in Caliban's War to look like Suletta Mercury lol

"Get me a Mobile Suit, and I'm an ace pilot. Get me Aerial, and I'm a super hero."

Chapter Thirty-Four: Holden According to the station directory, the Blauwe Blome was famous for two things: a drink called the Blue Meanie and its large number of Golgo tables. The guidebook warned potential patrons that the station allowed the bar to serve only two Blue Meanies to each customer due to the drink's fairly suicidal mixture of [highlighted]ethanol, caffeine, and methylphenidate.[end highlight] And, Holden guessed, some kind of blue food coloring.

God DAMN #TheExpanse #CalibansWar

Bobbie made a conscious effort not to turn around and look at Soren. The situation was uncomfortable enough without driving home the fact that he d just been humiliated in front of a foreigner with exactly seventeen minutes on the job. "Yes, ma'am," Soren said. "But I was wondering whether you should alert the security service about your decision to clear the sergeant. They do like to be in the loop on that kind of thing.” "Meow meow cry meow meow," Avasarala said. "That's all I heard you say.” "Yes, ma'am," Soren said. Bobbie finally looked back and forth between them. Soren was being dressed down in front of a new team member who was also technically the enemy. His expression hadn't changed. He looked like he was humoring a demented grandmother. Avasarala made an impatient clicking sound with her teeth. "Was I not clear? Have I lost the ability to speak?"

Avasarala is such a bitch in the book, I love her so much! #TheExpanse #CalibansWar

Find You

I have stored this on my desktop for lots of years now...

Then I read The Expanse:
"
If life transcends death,

then I will seek for you there.

If not, then there too.
"
And made this my mantra.

#TheExpanse #CalibansWar

I love you, I have always loved you, if we are born into new lives, I will love you there. #CalibansWar #JamesSACorey

If life transcends death, then I will seek for you there. If not, then there too. #CalibansWar #JamesSACorey

One bent on desperate measures, the other already in the numb of mourning. #CalibansWar #JamesSACorey

And if she never came back, those footprints would outlive her. #CalibansWar #JamesSACorey

Every empire grows until its reach exceeds its grasp. #CalibansWar #JamesSACorey

Caliban’s War by James S A Corey book two in the expanse series

The war for Ganymede! The flexing of the protomolecule!
#CalibansWar 💙📖
Pros:
Incredibly strong compelling characters, especially in Avasarala and Bobby
Fast read with tense drama

Cons:
Some of the science that made the first book great takes a back seat
The politics are eh

"It's amazing you all lived to adulthood" I can't get enough of Avasarala and her sick burns 🔥 #CalibansWar

Avasarala coming in and bossing everyone is hilarious 😂 and demanding Naomi to sort her hair out aha #CalibansWar

I love Amos. #CalibansWar

I finished #CalibansWar. That's certainly a dramatic ending! #TheExpanse

It probably also doesn't hurt that Aghdashloo's voice is incredibly captivating. #TheExpanse #CalibansWar

Avasarala is surprisingly sexy for an older lady. But maybe I just like sarcastic, bossy, and foul-mouthed women 😛. #CalibansWar #TheExpanse

Still waiting for @AbrahamHanover's promised giant albinos in croissant-shaped spaceships to show up though 😛. #CalibansWar

Got about 150 pages left to go. Hopefully will finish before Season 2 starts! #CalibansWar #TheExpanse

New characters add a lot. *Especially* Avasarala but also Bobbie and Prax. Plot is slower but also more intricate. #CalibansWar

I can say with a great deal of certainty at this point that #CalibansWar is a very solid improvement on #LeviathansWake. Enjoying it a lot.

Strikes me Fred might actually be envious of Holden. He has a populist appeal that would be real valuable for a revolutionary. #CalibansWar

Given how quickly the plot moved in LW I shouldn't be surprised the monster didn't stay a secret longer but I am. #CalibansWar

Honestly don't know where #CalibansWar will go from here but it will be interesting to find out. #TheExpanse
