Alex and Bobbie are definitely among the few Martians that gently caress

I haven't put a lot of thought into it and I honestly assume/hope a living alien will never show up in the series, but the Epstein guy's funeral chariot finally crashing out near an alien civilization and freaking them the gently caress out would be a cool short story.

Anyone else notice that something like 70% of the population of side characters is either gay or in some sort of non-traditional or plural marriage?

Everyone being brown and gay rules, but Holden being raised by polys definitely explains why he's so stupid.

I'd be surprised if that rogue general with his fleet on the other end of a gate hasn't been doing hosed up protomolecule poo poo at a faster than normal rate.

I THINK he's trying to say that, in the setting, white people are always portrayed as bad? And that there are too many brown people? Which is stupid for obvious reasons, but I'm just translating here.

I skimmed their Twitter and found this

so I think they're just a specific kind of weirdo internet person and not a racist thing

I mean to be fair, white people are cursed by God and undeserving of the light of Ra :hotep:

This series is a great example of Authors milking the serial fuckin' cow like its the 50's and they're publishing a new chapter in pulp sci-fi quarterly, except its 2018 and each installment is 900 pages of poorly edited bullshit not fit to start a campfire with.

So you'd say you like the books?

I don't really even buy that the Goths are reacting or even there at all, and that the Laconians aren't just beating themselves bloody against a security system or previously unknown law of physics and ascribing intelligence to it

Holden and Amos were the only ones who knew who she was at the time, and really the Laconians probably know enough about Holden to call his bluff if he threatened to kill a kid. Amos they probably would've believed, but who knows what his thought processes or motivations were looking like at the time. So it probably worked out for the best
