Hi there,
OK, why has no one told me about The Expanse before?!? Computing lecturer recommended it last week, I picked up the first one as I passed through a bookshop on the way home from work... well you do, don't you?... and am really loving it.
Not quite Traveller of course with no artificial gravity and all in the Terra system (no Jump etc), but the plot and characters and descriptive bits feel very Traveller to me.
Of course, I'm sure if I searched the archives I'd find it has been mentioned on TML so my apologies for not picking up on those hints then.
And I was moderately amused yesterday, given the discussion in another thread, to read this:
"Ships were small. Space was always at a premium, and even on a monster like the _Donnager_, the corridors and compartments were cramped and uncomfortable. On the _Rocinante_, the only rooms where Holden could spread out his arms without touching two walls were the galley and the cargo bay. No one who flew for a living was claustrophobic, but even the most hardened Belt prospector could recognize the rising tension of being ship-bound. It was the ancient stress response of the trapped animal, the subconscious knowledge that there was literally nowhere to go that you couldn't see from where you were already standing. Getting off the ship at port was a sudden and sometimes giddying release of tension."
