Mass Effect, Star Trek, similar stuff, without the giant franchise money machine. To consume like popcorn.

One of my favourites is Spiral Wars by Joel Sheppard.

    Is Scalzi’s Red Shirts considered to be tied to a franchise? 😹

    It’s a lot of fun regardless.

    You also might try Bloom by Wil Mccarthy and Pushing Ice by Alistair Reynolds. They’re pretty much one offs that take place on ships, although definitely not in a Star Trek/Star Wars vein. And if you can stomach a generation ship, there’s Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson.
