Wait, what? In what universe is there "barely any science fiction" outside our galaxy?
Lensman. The entire Revelation Space series. Beyond the Aquila Rift. Player of Games. Algebraist. Sirens of Titan. Perry Rhodan.
And that's off the top of my head. There's quite a bit of SF (both good and trash, and I think the above list has both :) happening outside our galaxy.
- flukus 6y ago> The entire Revelation Space series Fantastic series and probably my favorite writer, but because it mostly sticks within known physics nearly all of it takes palce within about 20 light years of earth with the exception of Galactic North and maybe a few other side stories. Earth doesn't get much of a mention, but the main character is from Mars.
- groby_b 6y agoDamn it. I only remembered "Andromeda", but you're right, that isn't where the story takes place. Same goes for "Sirens of Titan" I guess I need to start re-reading :)
- jonplackett 6y agoThanks I'll check these out! I guess I was thinking more about ones that have intergalactic travel. Do any of these actually have travel between galaxies or are they just set in an alt galaxy? Sorry, I din't really explain that thinking very clearly.
- efreak 6y agoThere's a few books here: https://www.reddit.com/r/scifi/comments/27i3y8/are_there_any_booksmoviesshows_that_tackle/ https://www.reddit.com/r/scifi/comments/27i3y8/are_there_any...
