The Human Reach : Think “The Expanse with no Aliens”

John J. Lumpkin’s “Through Struggle, The Stars” and “The Desert of Stars” published in 2011 and 2013 respectively, tells the story of a 22nd Century war for interstellar colonies, a war that’s grounded in believable politics stemming form our own time. Being an indie book it’s not as widely known as some comparable series, most notably The Expanse, but I recommend giving it a read.

I don’t know the author nor was I approached to review the series. I just liked the books.
