Mass Effect, Star Trek, similar stuff, without the giant franchise money machine. To consume like popcorn.
One of my favourites is Spiral Wars by Joel Sheppard.

The Mote in God’s Eye. Awesome first contact story!
Read it! It was pretty good. I’m told it’s part of a larger universe which I haven’t explored at all. Read anything else in the setting?
“The Gripping Hand” was a direct sequel and while not as good, it was still an excellent story. As far as I know there are no more Mote stories but the “Known Space” set of novels, created by Larry Niven and others, are very much in the same vein.
