What the title says, I’m tired of the trope where humans are the least advanced in the universe.

I’d like to read something different where we’re the more advanced ones (not necessarily the most advanced). As an example I quite enjoyed the Ender’s Game sequels and the angle of us being the more advanced ones was quite interesting.

Do you have any recommendations?

    The books of The Commonwealth Saga, by Peter F. Hamilton, have humans in the mix. They are neither the most advanced, nor the least, and the balance changes over the course of the books

      Excellent series. I’ve listened to it on audio books a couple of times and am currently going through it again with my wife. It’s taking forever though because she only listens in 30 minute chunks or so.

      Gore Bernelli (sp?) is possibly my favorite character in literature.

      Definitely the series I was going to recommend as well. Especially when you get to the void Trilogies and the stuff that Kasimir does.
