I've finished the "Old Man's War" series from John Scalzi. It was great!

Can you recommend any other good sci-fi series playing in space for my next read?

its rather towards the soft side of sci-fi (honestly some of the tech in it feels like something out of the hitchhiker's guide books except not generally played for humor), but I remember quite enjoying David Brin's "uplift" series. Not all of the books are set in space per se but there are significant chunks that are and the parts that arent often at least involve spaceships and alien planets.
