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?

💯 but, I do think that first season was some of the best sci fi produced and the following seasons were surprising strong until the acquisition. It’s a good story.
It was like too good for modern consumption lol. I am real interested in media adaptations, so it may intersect with another of my interest.
I think you seem to have a pretty good handle on it.
To be fair, I think those last couple of books would have been real difficult from a technical point of view.
What do you think would be hard to depict on screen? To me, the passage of time would be the biggest challenge. Look at Outlander. Jamie and Claire are supposed to age 20 years before being reunited, but they still look 30 in the later seasons!
Other than that, I wouldn’t actually worry. Makeup and CGI would do for most of the alien stuff involved in the story.
Oh, the age was the big hang up. I guess you’re probably right though, they could probably whip something up. It is a bit harder to pull off that perspective shift though.
It isn’t even a hard thing. We’ve had passable age makeup for longer than I’ve been alive. They just need to use it!
