The Friday Face-Off was created by Books by Proxy, where each week bloggers can showcase books with covers centered around a weekly theme. You can visit Lynn’s Books for a list of upcoming themes. Join in the fun each Friday by finding a book whose cover is based on the theme!
This week’s theme: An aerial encounter: Spaceships and explosions.
This week I’m highlighting a series I have NOT read yet, but desperately want to (does that count?). I’m sure everyone is familiar with The Expanse, and boy are the covers full of aerial encounter/spaceships/explosions goodness! Here are all nine covers in all their glory:
Ooh this reminds me to start the new season of The Expanse! I’m not sure which are my favorites but they do all capture that big space opera vibe.

I was fervently hoping that, given this week’s subject, someone would pick up my beloved The Expanse for a cover show: and here it comes! :-). All these covers are nothing short of amazing, just as the story itself. I hope you will manage to start it sooner or later: luckily for you, the last book will come out this year, so you will not have to wait for the new installments!

I think they are all marvellous – but if I have a favourite, it’s Cibola Burn because the angle of the building… They are all so clever and awesome, though… I started reading it, but it’s one of those series that got away from me. I need to reconnect with it:)). Thank you for this wonderful display of fabulous covers, Tammy.
Don’t they all look fantastic together. A series that I also haven’t started but I would love to and in fact bought the first book years ago. Perhaps we should get our heads together and try to read the first one during the next Sci-Fi event in November.

I’ve read (listened to) 1-4 and plan to continue with the rest of the audiobooks. These are great covers – I love all the color when you put them together.

Like you, I haven’t read The Expanse (or watched it), but really want to. I’ve heard so many great things about it. I can’t pick a favorite here so I’ll just say the tapestry of them all is my favorite. 🙂
I haven’t read the series myself, but the hubster sure has been raving about it. They are all cool book covers!

I’m reading Babylon’s Ashes now, because rumor has it that some of that story line may be used in this year’s television arc, which is mostly Nemesis Games. I can’t decide whether I like reading after watching the stories or whether it’s better to read ahead. They do change plot details for the show, and some of them are major. The visuals in the television show are amazing, especially on large screen TV, and the actors really capture (& sometimes add depth to) the characters. So… I’m recommending both the books & the television series. Oh, we were talking about the covers, weren’t we? I agree with the comment pointing out how impressive they look together.
I can’t say I have read that series but it seems perfect for today’s theme Tammy!
The first one of these was amazing! I need to catch up on the series for sure. I also am really enjoying The Expanse tv series!

I knew you’d have some awesome ones to share for this prompt!

I love this series! Funnily enough though, I was never all that enamored of the covers – they’re very cool, but also very “generic” space opera!
Oh good pick! I love the covers for this series, they’re really fun and epic, and so colorful! I need to pick up book 2 soon. 🙂
That is a great set of covers, and thanks for adding the nifty trilogy touch. My personal favorites are those in the first row, looks just a little bit more arty to my biased eyes.

I’ve got the first book and I’ve tried to watch the tv show but I keep hitting a brick wall with it, I’ll try it another day! Great covers though!
