![]() This concept was described as “rich light” whenever they were communicating with human minds.Įventually, the species that we call the Ring Builders were able to discover that there is a deeper reality that was much older and far larger than the universe that they know. Through their advancements in technology, they were able to transmute themselves from species that communicated solely through light into a conscious pattern of photons that were engineered to think. They eventually discovered how plenty of the things in the universe worked, as they were able to develop different technologies based on the new things that they were learning. It was then and there that the collective mind of the group perceived the stars as the “voice of God.”ĭue to their advancements as a species and in terms of what they can do technologically, these species were able to develop space travel and leave their water world behind. This allowed them to develop new and more complex tools that allowed them to breach their world’s ice shell and see the sky above them. This also allowed them to become more coordinated in a way that is similar to how bees coordinate with fellow members of their hive almost automatically.Īs time passed, these organisms continued to acquire new traits from different species. One of the traits they first acquired was a form of bioluminescence that allowed them to form a way to communicate with one another. They did so through symbiosis or parasitism. In a way, the fact that they originated from water-based organisms makes them no different from humans in terms of their origins.Īt some point in their history, these organisms were able to acquire certain biological traits from other lifeforms living in hydrothermal vents. They came from free-swimming organisms that were able to adapt to a low-energy and lightless environment. However, these Ring Builders did not start out as the intelligent lifeforms that they have become during the peak of their empire.īased on the information that was obtained from the Adro Diamond, the Ring Builders were once from an ice-covered water planet. And the ones who were responsible for engineering this mysterious and dangerous substance are the entities we call the Ring Builders, who are even more mysterious than the protomolecule that they engineered.īasically speaking, the Ring Builders are a race of technologically advanced aliens that were responsible for creating the protomolecule so that it would be easier for them to travel from one solar system to another in the huge empire that they controlled throughout the Milky Way. But the show has already come back to life once, and the producers sound hopeful that it has another resurrection up its sleeve.As early as the first portion of The Expanse, we were introduced to the protomolecule, which is one of the central mysteries of the entire series. Last we checked, Amazon had cancelled the show after ordering an upcoming sixth season, which will still leave a few books unadapted. The Expanse also got turned into a TV show on SyFy, although it jumped over to Amazon a few seasons in. Abraham has adapted several of Martin’s novels into comic book form, while Franck served as his personal assistant for awhile. After a decade of waiting, I’d be happy just with the next novel, and then we can see where we are.īoth Abraham and Franck have worked with Martin before. It’s not clear if the bet was to see whether Corey could finish The Expanse before Martin got out the long-awaited next A Song of Ice and Fire book, The Winds of Winter, or before he completed the series entirely.     The entire Expanse series was written while fans waited for a new Song of Ice and Fire book The last book in that series, A Dance with Dragons, came out the same year that The Expansebegan, so it’s safe to say that Corey is a bit quicker with the pen. Martin, of course, is the author of the Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels, adapted by HBO as the tremendously successful TV series Game of Thrones. Also this means I win my bet with that we'd beat him to the finish, which I think means we get all of his treasures.
