You are found orbiting a black hole 5000 years later where humans have idealised you for thousands of years but have only recently had the capability to rescue you. You’ve aged a week. by moonraker727

I'll have to check it out. Thank you. Anything else I should know about it?

It has a lot of military strategy stuff in it, talks a lot about space battles which i thought was pretty cool but sometimes hard to follow due to the 3d nature of the formations.

It also a long series, 6 books in the original series, 5 more on the sequel series. Theres a second sequel series and spinoff series which i havent read yet.

Sounds perfect. I liked the military aspects of Expeditionary Force. Especially the realism of stupid decisions from higher ups. And it has an audio book which is great for me.

Oh yeah this will definitely be up your alley, I listened to it while I was waiting for the next ExFor book.

You might also like the series that starts with ’Swarm’ by BV Larson - it’s totally different and I wont ruin the story, but has some military strategy and space/tech stuff, also available on Audible
