If the way the Commonwealth sprawls across human space grabbed you—wormholes, rejuvenation, and the catastrophic fallout of opening the Dyson Pair—then you'll love how The Reality Dysfunction escalates from colonial skirmishes to civilization-shaking crises. Like following Nigel Sheldon’s grand ambitions and the Commonwealth’s tangled responses, you’ll track star-spanning factions, corporate interests, and military powers colliding as an existential threat spreads. It delivers that same big-canvas rush, with intricate tech, audacious set pieces, and mounting consequences that echo the moment humanity cracked open Pandora’s star.

If you enjoyed how Pandora’s Star hops from Paula Myo’s relentless pursuit to explorers, tycoons, and politicians shaping the Commonwealth’s fate, Leviathan Wakes hits the same sweet spot. You’ll ride with Holden’s idealism, Miller’s dogged investigation, and a tight-knit crew whose choices ripple across the system—much like how disparate Commonwealth players unknowingly steer the disaster that follows opening the Dyson Pair. It’s propulsive, character-forward space opera with multiple threads knitting into a larger, looming threat.

If the hard-tech detail of quantum teleportation networks, rejuvenation tech, and the physics-minded mystery of the vanished stars pulled you in, Pushing Ice delivers that same credible awe. When an ordinary mining ship pursues a Saturn moon that turns out to be an alien craft, the crew faces real engineering trade-offs, life-support math, and problem-solving under cosmic pressure—just like the practical, systems-level thinking threaded through the Commonwealth’s wormhole infrastructure and the scientific probe into the Dyson Pair.

If Paula Myo’s investigations and the shadowy Starflyer whispers kept you turning pages, Dune offers a deeper plunge into realpolitik. As with the Commonwealth’s corporate interests and Assembly debates around the Dyson Pair, you’ll navigate schemes between Houses, the Spacing Guild, and the Bene Gesserit—each move reshaping empires. The tension isn’t just in battles; it’s in alliances, intel, and who controls the future, echoing how backroom decisions in Pandora’s Star unleash galaxy-scale consequences.

If Paula Myo’s methodical pursuit—connecting a scattered trail of clues to a civilization-level threat after the Dyson Pair—was your favorite thread, The Prefect is tailor-made. Prefect Tom Dreyfus investigates a seemingly contained crime in the Glitter Band, only to peel back layers of conspiracy that endanger the entire system. It’s the same satisfying blend of procedural rigor, forensic tech, and escalating stakes you got from Myo’s casework driving the Commonwealth toward revelation and crisis.
