I used to read a lot, but sadly I stopped. Now I don't have the attention span that I used to and find it difficult to get back into reading. I've started several books now that I've failed to finish. Please recommend a page-turner that tells a complete story, isn't a part of a long series and is easy/catchy to read.
Things I like: Space exploration, space anomalies, life on a star ship, landing on alien worlds, alien ruins, alien civilizations, time travel, advanced technology, mysterious artifacts, AI, or any original sci-fi ideas.
Things I dislike: Political drama, religion, dystopias/grimdark, western in space, superheroes, childish writing
Most importantly it has to be a page turner. I don't mind a recommendation outside of what I'm asking if you really think it will get me back into reading.
Thank you!
