Hi everyone. I’m looking for my next book (or series) to read but I’m in the mood for a particular theme. I’m hoping you all can assist with some recommendations.
I’m looking for a book written around humanity first discovering FTL travel. So the first moments of humanity starting to explore outside of the solar system.
Don’t ask me why I want this specific kind of story but I do haha. Thank you in advance!
EDIT: Thank you all! I’ve added every book here to my reading list.
Have you checked out The Expanse series? I think it’s 8 primary books, with like 4 optional novellas. Its not exactly what you’re looking for, but it does deal with some of what you’re interested in. It was also turned into a pretty good TV show.
I’ve actually read the first three books and really enjoyed it. Somewhere down the line I forgot about the series somehow. I’ll add that to the list for sure.
9 books, with I believe also 9 novellas. 6 seasons of a show that cover the first 6 books. A video game coming out as well as some comic books.
Books 3-6 very much deal with the premise of humanity discovering FTL travel and what happens to the political landscape when they do.
Fantastic series. Definitely recommend.
