First time watch

Wow

I watched a few episodes a few years ago and decided to give it another shot and to say it got binged is an understatement this show was amazing season three had be wanting to see the next episode straight away so much for pacing myself. Kicking myself for not seeing it sooner

Having said that I have a few questions hoping some of the book readers can help me with.

1. What book should I read after season 6 ?

2. I’m struggling to understand the mindset of humanity after the portal/gate opens. In the show we see a rush to colonise the new planets. We never really see the impact of humanity learning they are not alone in the universe and here we have alien tech which yes might be old but super advanced and no ones really batting an eye lid. I’d have liked to see some sort of discussions between earth and mars or their own retrospective governments to the implications of this new discovery/threat. Does this happen in the books or do they go more in depth ?

3. Why stop terraforming mars ? I know a lot of Martians wanted an atmosphere so when new planets magically appeared some decided to leave, but the show lead me to believe all martians had a common goal and loyalty.

I can’t remember the others now
