Have we done the Expanse series? Or Scalzi's Old Man series?
I second the expanse series. However I read the first three novels and the rest of the series is in my TBR. https://www.goodreads.com/series/5639...
How about CJ Cherryh's Chanur Space Opera starting with The Pride of Chanur? First contact in reverse, plus lots of aliens and stuff.Though the Jax series is good too.
How about Mary Gentle's Ash: A Secret History (broken down into four books for the U.S. market, if that counts)? Yes, it's SF not fantasy.
I also would like to nominate a C. J. Cherryh series - The Company Wars. The group has read the first one - Downbelow Station - so we'd start with #2 - Rimrunners. There are a total of seven books in the series but since we've read #1, we'd have six to go!Whoops, #2 is Merchanter's Luck not Rimrunners, which is #3. Sorry!
I would note that CJ's Company Wars is not a continuing series with the same characters. It is several separate stories set in different sections of the same universe. I loved those stories, but they are largely stand-alone except for some grand-arc threads.

And these two books are the best ones by far, even though I liked most of the others, too.
