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.

Have you checked out The Expanse series? I think it's 8 primary books, with like 4 optional novellas. Its not exactly what you're looking for, but it does deal with some of what you're interested in. It was also turned into a pretty good TV show.

This is what I came to suggest. I'm just finishing the series now and have really enjoyed it. There is a lot of stuff going on in the story, but a bug part of it is FTL travel and humanity expanding beyond the solar system.
