I am looking for scifi novels based on real scientific concepts, but with easy to follow plots and characters.

My English level is proficient in a professional setting, and I have no problem reading academic, medical or scientific articles in English.

I love watching documentaries on BBC, but I sometimes struggle watching dramas and sitcoms without subtitles.

I am mainly trying to find audio books that I can listen to while driving. I am half way through listening to Carl Sagan’s Contact on audio, it is great and not too difficult because I’ve already watched the movie many times.

    The Expanse series by James S A Corey (also made into an excellent TV show). All the books are a very quick read, the pacing is fast but totally comprehensive. If you can get through medical texts and academic papers, these books will be no problem.

      Thanks. I watched the first episode of the TV show but I didn’t quite get into it. I will give the audio book a try.
