Antigravel
Author: George Saoulidis
Genre: Space Opera, Hard Sci-Fi
Status: Complete (9 books + omnibus)
Overview
Mix between Heinlein, John Scalzi, and Iain Banks’ Culture novels — though with a larger focus on humans. Funny, deep, insane, imaginative and out of this world.
What was the biggest hurdle for man to explore space? Faster than light travel? Interstellar navigation? No. It was micrometeoroids. Rocks. Fucking space rocks.
