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.
My two favorite SF series are The Expanse and The Three Body Problem. Both fit your FTL desire (the former a bit more directly)
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.
100% the expanse. Best Sci Fi books in years.
