I started reading a new series called The Captives War, same author as The Expanse. The book starts on a non-earth planet where humans have a seemingly similar level of science and tech as today. They discuss knowing that this planet is not their home world because they live along side another evolutionary tree but they do not know how they got there.

Its not really the main focus of the story so it hasn’t really been explained yet, I only read the first book so far and the third of the trilogy is not yet released. Some fan theories think its a connection to the end of The Expanse book series, where spoiler spoiler the network of portals connecting 1000s of world’s is destroyed stranding millions of people on 100s of worlds across the universe.

I just really like the concept of humans industrializing on an alien world and how they got there was simply lost to time. The fan theory is also partially why I like it but I’m sure it will have a different explanation.

I partially agree, watched the show and thought the same. A coworker reccomended I read the books, so I started at book 7 and other than the Alex situation it was pretty seamless. The Laconia plot in the show was a teaser to what will come 30 years later in book 7. I didn’t read books 1-6 but everything they covered in season 6 with Laconia was in book 7, so the showrunners wanted to give viewers hope and a minor cliffhanger that more could come.

The last 3 books are great, takes place 30 years after the show ends. Highly reccomend the audio books. One of my all time favorite endings to a franchise.

My answer is probably Cyberpunk2077, I bought it on accident since it was in my cart on the day Silksong released. Luckily it was on sale at that time. Tried playing it on my ps4 pro and it was struggling so I put it aside and plan on playing it whenever I get a new console. So I started silksong instead which is ironically the first new game I bought in over 5 years.
