This unofficial series follows human progression into the solar system. Starting from putting a base on the moon and going all the way to discovering ancient alien ruins outside our solar system.

I think it’s pretty neat how optimistic and diverse it is. There’s a prominent Native American character. Fantastic!

Caveat, some women get thrown in fridges pretty suddenly and for seemingly no narrative reason. Not all women though, so kind of weird.

    I haven’t read any of Ben Bova’s books for years. I’m glad you mentioned this one, I’ve been intending to read this. This might be the impetus I need to get started.

      I’m really enjoying it! It’s kind of like a prelude to The Expanse so far. Deals with similar issues and themes, just earlier in human history.
