James s.a: Ty Franck and Pen Name

james s.a: Premiering its third season on Space this week, the Toronto-shot action thriller is based on the series of novels by James S.A. Corey, the pen name of writing team Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, according to NOW Magazine. We don't have villains, explains showrunner and writer Naren Shankar via Skype, a decision that encourages viewers to empathize with three sides in an interplanetary conflict. With a diverse cast and progressive politics to match, sci-fi series The Expanse is setting the bar for TV in ways that resonate beyond genre fiction. The story is set roughly 300 years in the future, when Earth has colonized both Mars and the resource-rich asteroid belt. Though it might be easy to immediately identify with Earth's cause, it's also just as easy to understand the motivations of the militant Martians, working hard to protect what little they have while they attempt to terraform their planet. The search for a missing girl reveals a conspiracy to pit Earth against its colonies. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
