ORBIT
The Wheel of Time de Robert Jordan
En anglais, tu as 14 tomes, ça te fait de quoi lire pour 14 trajets :D
It the eighth book of "The Expanse" series. It is set in a somewhat similar place to the expanse (in that it is in our solar system and not much beyond that).
Here's a little summary:
There are 3 major factions known to us at the start of the books:
UN (United Nations): after the complete climate breakdown, Earth's nations came together under the UN 30 Billion people now live on Earth (half of which aren't employed). The UN's general theme is quantity over quality.
MCR (Martian Congressional Republic): declared there independence from Earth. Earth didn't that very much. War begin. Took a while due to travel the long distance. Martian invents much better engine. Peace deal signed drive tech in exchange for independence. 4 billion people live here. The MCR general theme is quality over quantity.
Then there is the belters/OPA/whatever. Belter ≠ OPA maybe...
The main cast of the books is an Earther living in the belt on an ice hauler, a belter detective on ceres, a Martian in the Martian navy (MCRN) and the 3rd in command of the UN.
Some Alien tech may get involved too ( though in what I have read books 1-7 no alien species actually appear)
Overall the world building is one of the best if not the best. The writing is good too. 100% recommend if you like Red Rising. Honestly speaking I prefer it to Red riding probably due to the better grasp of scale and world building.
Another series you may like, if you like fantasy/magic, is the Wheel of Time series. The whole series is finished and the only reason it places third is because I want to read the next book yet I know there isn't one :(

PS with the wheel of time I would recommend you read the prologue first although most would recommend after book 9. I found it really interesting doing it this way and sets a really nice setup for Book 1

Seems to be the (new?) UK edition. Colors and font looks like a match to me. I just searched "wheel of Time orbit".
