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.

    I got annoyed at Corey’s constant preaching about ships not swooping. 1) we get it. we got it for a long time, actually. 2) the reason aircraft swoop has more to do with being under constant acceleration and the frame of reference we observe them from. given constant acceleration and an appropriate frame of reference for observing… yes, space fighters would “swoop” too.
