"The Captive's War sees humans brought under the thumb of a ruthlessly controlling alien empire and struggling to resist, build lives and maybe even find a way to win."
"As Abraham puts it, The faster-than-light drives in this series are probably not the ones that we've done the most rigorous work on, but the biology is fun."
"The idea of an epic sci-fi retelling of the Book of Daniel, with the idea of following somebody into a vast and overwhelming empire."
The Captive's War series, particularly its second novel The Faith of Beasts, delves into themes of adaptation and resistance against a powerful alien empire. It contrasts with The Expanse by focusing on humans struggling to build lives under oppressive rule. The authors, Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, discuss their creative process and the inspiration behind the series, including the integration of scientific concepts and the challenges of portraying alien societies and personhood.
