Books like the expanse? (lemmy.world)

I'm 75% of the way through the last book in the series. I've read all of the novellas. What would you recommend next?

Three only other series I can think of that's similar is the Three Body series from Cixin Liu.

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Just finished the audiobook and thought it was fantastic. It could be technical at times like The Martian, but I find that stuff interesting.

Both fantastic books but I'm not sure they're Expanse-like. Definitely would recommend them. Skip the moon one, Artemis?

I wouldn't say skip it altogether, I liked it a decent bit. Just not NEARLY on the same level as the other two for sure.

I liked Artemis more than I thought I would have, but yeah, it's weaker than The Martian or Project Hail Mary.

I’m starting to put more Weir books on my list. I really love the way he writes. The Weir Easter egg in the Expanse was great.
