Looking for conventional ship and crew adventures that aren't tied to a franchise (lemmy.ca)

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.

I'm feeling a little old school tonight so I'm going to boost Rimrunners by C.J. Cherryh. May say #3 in a series, but all the books stand alone (they just share the same universe).

Is it part of Alliance-Union? I've read a couple of hers and always enjoyed them, but they never felt ship-and-crew. Rimrunners, you say (... heads to Wikipedia... )

Spiral Wars by Joel Sheppard.

I was just looking over some reader reviews of the first book in this series, and I noticed this: "Really nice story setting, oddly enough the background story reminded me of C.J. Cherryh's Chanur novels, which is a good thing." So maybe that is a recommendation after all?
