sci-fi series recommendation (lemmy.world)

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?

All of these recommendations so far are a grab bag of anything sci-fi. For something with similar themes and more of a focus on space warfare ops I would highly recommend Expeditionary Force by Craig Alanson.

Briefest possible synopsis: humans are forcefully introduced to wider space civilization, which is in a constant state of structured war. The focus is on a covert ops team always trying to get an edge by outsmarting much more powerful civilizations. It's dramatic and funny.
