Project Gleise 581g is a five-book science fiction series by S. E. Smith, published between 2016 and 2025. Named after the real exoplanet Gliese 581g, the series follows human colonists sent to settle on a distant world. Command Decision (2016), First Awakenings (2017), and Survival Skills (2018) were followed by Honor Bound and New World in 2025.
The series takes a more traditional science fiction approach compared to Smith’s other work, grounding its story in a real astronomical target. The colonization premise provides different challenges than the alien-warrior-meets-Earth-woman setup of her other books.
