The Bobiverse Series by Dennis Taylor.
These books aren't anything that will change your life, but they're well written and a lot of fun.
- bwb 2y agoThis is one of my all-time favorite series. I laugh so much reading them, and the later books go heavy into really interesting alien species. Authors love them as well: https://shepherd.com/search/book/38814 https://shepherd.com/search/book/38814 Have you read any Peter Hamilton? He is another fav of mine.
- daoboy 2y agoI have not read Peter Hamilton, but always looking for new good books. Thanks for the recommendation!
- bwb 2y agoI'd start with Pandora's Star, they are HUGE in scope, so its a big book but worth it IMO.
- BillSaysThis 2y agoI'd start with the Night's Dawn trilogy, I've read most PFH except for his last few and those are my ATFs.
- themadturk 2y agoNight's Dawn was the first Hamilton I read...and I've read it once or twice since.
- LargoLasskhyfv 2y agoI've found the Mandel Trilogy to be entertaining, too. Could be thought of as some world-building for the much later ND? But not as epic. Just three normal paperbacks.
- esperent 2y agoI listened to this series as an audiobook and I enjoyed it a lot. I prefer reading to listening but this one worked really well and has a great narrator. It's a good series too, simple fun with decent jokes and a well paced plot.
- dartharva 2y agoSeconded, Ray Porter is just too good of a narrator and whatever he does almost always tends to be entertaining.
- strofocles 2y agoI wonder how much "well written" is a matter of taste (I thought it wasn't that much). I found "We Are Legion" very poorly written although I loved the premise and really wanted to read it but couldn't go any further then maybe a quarter of it. It also happened to me with Murakami's Kafka On The Shore but I blame that on the translation or some cultural impedance mismatch.
