sci-fi series recommendation (lemmy.world)

I've finished the "Old Man's War" series from John Scalzi. It was great!

Can you recommend any other good sci-fi series playing in space for my next read?

Gideon the ninth. Not very Scalzi (whom I admit I'm not always a fan of), and only a bit SciFi but I keep coming back to this series cause her characters are excellent

(Maybe this doesn't qualify cause the first book is hardly in space)

This is the first time I've seen someone else recommend Gideon the ninth. I read the first book when it originally came out and have been recommending it to friend for years, but no one has taken me up on it.

We are not alone! I haven't enjoyed the rest of the series as much, but after a few rereads I liked them better.
