This past weekend saw the debut of the season 6 finale of "The Expanse," and seemingly the end of the show. After nearly seven years on the air, the science fiction epic which began on the Syfy Channel before being cancelled and subsequently saved by Amazon has reached its conclusion. Or has it?
While "Babylon's Ashes" wrapped up many of the plotlines of "The Expanse," including the solar system-wide war sparked by the Free Navy, it also left a few big threads dangling. This is because "The Expanse" book series by James S.A. Corey (a pseudonym for authors Ty Franck and Daniel Abraham) spans nine books, with book six, "Babylon's Ashes," serving as a major turning point and internal ending within the series. The final three books, which the show hasn't reached, occur 30 years later, and bring many of the story's largest lingering plotlines, like the Laconian Empire and the "sleeping entities" by the Ring, to the forefront.
