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.

      Ignore those concerns. The “mystery” is not the only plotline even from the early going, it’s fairly quickly tied into the overarching narrative, and it’s largely used to do some awesome world building. It’s worthwhile in both the show and the books.

      The murder mystery thing is literally only in the first season. After that it’s very much an afterthought.

      Highly highly recommend. Fantastic series.
