Instruction: What makes the Expanse series better than other sci-fi?

Response: What really sets The Expanse apart from other popular science fiction is the science. It's common for sci-fi writers to throw the laws of physics out the window or create a fake invention that bends the rules without any scientific basis to make their concept work. The Expanse has a realism that is unparalleled. If you've ever found yourself yelling at your book or TV saying "That's not even close to possible" then this is the sci-fi series for you.
