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.

    You might look at Robert Buettner’s first two series. Humanity gets FTL by getting invaded and using the alien ships. Good military sci-fi!
