Right now I’m listening to Expeditionary Force series by Craig Alanson, really enjoying it 5 books in! Kind of the same feeling as the Bobiverse imo.
Outland from Dennis. E Taylor was a good listen as well, the sequel Earthside dropped earlier this year.
I’ve listened to it, it was worth it imo! Wasn’t as intriguing as the bobiverse but well worth it.
