I’ve finished the “Old Man’s War” series from John Scalzi. It was great!

Can you recommend any other good sci-fi series playing in space for my next read?

    What do you think would be hard to depict on screen? To me, the passage of time would be the biggest challenge. Look at Outlander. Jamie and Claire are supposed to age 20 years before being reunited, but they still look 30 in the later seasons!

    Other than that, I wouldn’t actually worry. Makeup and CGI would do for most of the alien stuff involved in the story.

      Oh, the age was the big hang up. I guess you’re probably right though, they could probably whip something up. It is a bit harder to pull off that perspective shift though.

        It isn’t even a hard thing. We’ve had passable age makeup for longer than I’ve been alive. They just need to use it!
