Hey guys, this is my first post, so I apologize if this is the wrong sub-forum or anything like that.
Basically, I need a book recommendation:
Specifically, what I'm looking for are sci-fi books that deal with Space Exploration. As in, humans going into deep space for the first time, going into the unknown. (Traveling around our own solar system doesn't count, it has to be other solar systems other than our own (though not necessarily other galaxies)).
I am not looking for stuff like the Foundation series by Asimov (although, I loved Foundation and thought it was excellent, it is just not the specific type of book I'm looking for right now). In foundation (as well as other famous space series like Star Wars (the book versions) etc, the problem is that in those books/series, the space-setting is already pre-established/discovered/settled/etc. Like, there is already a Galactic federation in place, they already know where all the various planets and stars are, and which humans/aliens live in which places. They already have politics and wars going on etc.
That is not the type of thing I'm looking for right now.
I'm looking for something more along the lines of, it's humanities first foray into the great unknown galaxy around them. They are looking to discovery new planets and/or aliens for the first time etc. That sort of thing.
So, basically something that isn't so much about shooting laser guns at alien enemies that were already known to the main characters at the beginning of the book, but rather, space explorers on their maiden voyage into deep unknown space, just looking to see what's out there and discovering stuff along the way.
Alright, so if anyone knows any books that fall into that sub-category of space sci, I would appreciate any recommendations very much.
Thanks!
