In the book, you can turn a page and it can casually hint at a passing of months (taken, for example, to execute an inner-to-outer orbit transfer largely conducted “on the float” *). There is also a difference in the way the passage of time is dealt with. Several of the main characters in Persepolis Rising have already been killed off on TV. The growing gap between written and screen versions is going to be an interesting problem and I’m eager to see how the Amazon people will deal with it. I’m finding the story too interesting to hold off for another season of TV production. You may recall that, for a while, I was alternating – reading a book and then watching the Amazon interpretation of that same book – to help me maintain a continuity. I’m barreling ahead with the Expanse book series, absent the television episodes to keep in sync.
