#bookidentification #tipofmytongue #whatsthatbook #storyidentification #books #bookstodon I read this sci fi series in the 2000s or early teens. Humans set off to explore another world. They discover the other world has been deliberately technologically inhibited by killer satellites in orbit. The native aliens on this planet communicate through some means that either injures one of the characters or damages their equipment. Maybe energy or radio waves. 1/?

Then we jump to the next book in the series, with the protagonist's son or grandson. But I didn't like that book and didn't finish it.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? 3/End! #bookstodon #whatsthatbook

When the humans return to Earth, they find the same killer satellites in orbit so they set off elsewhere. At some point, the protagonist speaks unpleasant truths and annoys the ship's senior crew so much they have him put in cryo against his will. But he escapes to tell everyone, who turn against the seniors. 2/? #bookstodon #whatsthatbook

#whatsthatbook Then we jump ahead to the guy's son or grandson. But I didn't finish that one, it wasn't the same any more.

No author or titles come to mind. Does it sound familiar to anyone else? 4/End!

#whatsthatbook So the humans head off again. The lead character is speaking unwanted truths, so the the ship's senior people arrange to have him put in cryo. Only he escapes and reveals what happened at a big meeting, getting sympathy from the other crew. 3/?
#whatsthatbook Also, the planet aliens communicated through some kind of radio or energy transmission. One alien damages someone's space suit or the shuttle, but the humans manage to escape and head back to Earth. When they reach Earth, the same satellites are in orbit! 2/?
#whatsthatbook Anyone good with finding a book series? Sci fi, I read it in either the 2000s or early teens. Humans set off for another world on the first FTL ship. When they get there, the aliens have their technology inhibited by killer satellites placed in orbit by other aliens. 1/?
