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?

The Final Architecture series by Adrian Tchaikovsky is epic!

Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series is equally good but much calmer, less action.

Other sci-fi series or books I've really enjoyed recently:

  • Children of Time series by Adrian Tchaikovsky
  • Redshirts by John Scalzi
  • The Expanse series. Although I only made it part way though book 5 when I started watching the show and stopped reading it.

Old Man's war is on my list. What did you like about it?
