I am currently on Book 11 of the Expeditionary Force Series by Craig Alanson. I have really enjoyed it. It's a fun space adventure series. Light reading, interesting characters, very funny at times. Sometimes suspenseful but and very few bad things happen to the good guys. I don't know about the rest of you, but I already have too many bad/sad/dramatic things from my real life. This series is a great scifi escape!

100%.

I finished all of them and they are great entertainment.

Some SciFi is deep, thought provoking, and requires reflection.

And some is just fun to read. This is definitely the later, but it does a great job of it.

The Bobiverse books are of similar content, although the base premises is a bit more thought provoking.
