The Frontiers Saga

Author: Ryk Brown

An indie published science fiction series that now spans #14 books. While the writing itself is mediocre, the actual story telling is fantastic. It's a story where humanity has expanded outward into the stars but and after a plague pretty much destroys human civilization, becomes cut off and isolated with pockets of humanity scattered around. Earth over a thousand years later manages to rebuild Faster Than Light capabilities and a small ship, through old earth technology, ends up stranded 1000 light years from earth, finding humanity has developed a whole new civilization. The old meets new and glorious space operatic conflict results. This series makes for an absolute page turning read from the first to the current book (which as of 2016 stands at #14). This is one of the best indie science fiction series around. Yes, the prose is so so, yes, it's pulpy. And yes, once you start, you'll read all 15 books non stop. If you've been hankering to try some indie stuff, START with Ryk Brown's Frontiers saga.
