Again, I'm not familiar with Mass Effect, so not a hundred percent clear what the vibe is you're going for. Something like Star Trek maybe?
Anyway, I wonder if The Mote in God's Eye would qualify? Quote:

Have alook at "Spin" series by Robert Charles Wilson
The first part does have aliens - the hypotheticals ... ;-) Read more in Wikipedia summary (warning - contains spoilers) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(novel) The book won multiple awards Again, I am not sure I have read part three. I might have to add it to my ever-growing TBR list. EDIT: I have read part three. Had a peek at a few pages and remembered reading it. Last edited by kacir; 02-15-2022 at 02:31 AM. |

Thanks all, again.
I'm going through all the books -- I've added some to my wishlist, and I will look to see if my libraries will let me request Overdrive titles they don't have. |
