    From what I understand there’s a lot of material from the books that didn’t make it into the show. I bet the politics were more extensive too.

      The authors actually have cameos in the show. They were very involved in its conception and making. The books had a lot more details, little sub-stories, etc. The show made a few substantial changes, but IMHO they all made for better TV (like making Arwin a major character in Jackson’s LotR).

      Fun fact: the authors initially intended for The Expanse to be a table top game.
