I really enjoyed The Hyperion Cantos, and the first few Dune books I read a long time ago (may reread these now). Can anyone recommend some other books (or series) along these lines? Huge stories on an epic scale, space battles, cool future tech, etc.
The Imperial Radch trilogy by Ann Leckie was very good. It’s got a few interesting themes along with the space battles and evil empires and weird aliens, like gender and personhood. I hear there’s a new book in the same universe, but unconnected to the trilogy characters, that just came out I think?
