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?

    I read Great North Road and several other of his books before I read Nights Dawn, so those “repeated” ideas added to my frustration with the trilogy. Had I read them the other way around, I bet that would changed my opinion some.

    Have you read Exodus yet? I have it on my shelf but have been in the mood for shorter reads lately.

      I haven’t, but I’ve also found that I prefer his earlier works. The Void Trilogy is another good opera.

      I’ll tack on here: if OP doesn’t want to commit to 2500 pages of trilogy: the first book I read by Hamilton was Fallen Dragon.

      It uses some concepts familiar with his other works, but presents them in very different ways, and the overall novel is shortish.

      The use of semi biological power armor throughout is honestly super cool.
