Hi everyone. I’m looking for my next book (or series) to read but I’m in the mood for a particular theme. I’m hoping you all can assist with some recommendations.

I’m looking for a book written around humanity first discovering FTL travel. So the first moments of humanity starting to explore outside of the solar system.

Don’t ask me why I want this specific kind of story but I do haha. Thank you in advance!

EDIT: Thank you all! I’ve added every book here to my reading list.

    Thanks for making me remember these. I read Ender’s Game as a teenager and loved it, but Speaker for the Dead really stuck with me, and it may be a bit hyperbolic to say, but I really feel like it had a huge impact on my perspective on life.

      Same. Enders game and speaker for the dead et al. is the single most important work of fiction in my life :P I avoided the movie for years because of it
