If you loved how Alana and Marko flee across a war-torn cosmos while The Will and Prince Robot IV close the net, you'll click with the dual perspectives of Holden and Miller in Leviathan Wakes. It delivers that same relentless pursuit and widening conspiracy—think the protomolecule standing in for Saga’s “war bigger than two lovers,” with station shootouts and belter–Inner politics that echo Landfall vs. Wreath power plays—all at a breathless pace.

If the makeshift family vibe of Alana, Marko, baby Hazel, and spectral babysitter Izabel warmed you even amid firefights, The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet will hit the spot. Aboard the Wayfarer, a human and alien crew bicker, bond, and choose each other—much like your favorite fugitives—facing tense checkpoints, cultural clashes, and heartfelt dinners that feel like those rare quiet moments between escapes in Saga.

If Alana and Marko’s cross-faction romance—snatched kisses between firefights, promises made over a newborn—was your heartbeat in Saga, then Red and Blue’s clandestine letters in This Is How You Lose the Time War will absolutely undo you. It’s the same defy-the-war-for-love energy, with subterfuge, sabotage, and tender notes tucked inside the machinery of rival empires, as intimate as Hazel’s voiceover confessions.

If you’re drawn to Saga’s complicated heroes—Alana smuggling contraband novels, Marko’s pacifism cracking when family’s threatened, and a hitman like The Will earning your sympathy—then Locke and Jean’s audacious cons in The Lies of Locke Lamora will hook you. Expect razor-edged banter, brutal reversals, and that same tightrope walk where you root for rogues who don’t always do the right thing, but do it for people they love.

If Saga’s gallows laughs landed for you—the grotesque absurdity of Sextillion, Lying Cat’s deadpan truth-bombs, and Hazel’s wry asides amid carnage—then The Android’s Dream brings that same wicked grin. It opens with a disastrously funny diplomatic incident and spirals into assassins, alien rites, and bureaucratic warfare, all delivered with snappy, sardonic wit you can appreciate between space shootouts.
