Pretty closely. All the main Roci crew characters are the same. Some peripheral characters are sometimes swapped or amalgamated. Or scenes are changed to be more cinematic.
The books are also a slower burn which explains a lot of details better… The show can someones gloss over a lot of stuff.
But the broad plot is the same. And the TV show stops roughly at book 6 while there are a total of 9 books.
