Xeelee Sequence by Stephen Baxter

The Xeelee Sequence is a series of hard science fiction novels by British novelist Stephen Baxter. It includes both the original Xeelee series and the Destiny’s Children series. The Xeelee Sequence is about the expansion of the human race, going to war with an alien race known as the Xeelee and the Xeelee’s war with the Photino Birds. Throughout the series, humans and posthumans must live in different extreme climates and conditions, including the heart of a neutron star or in a universe with a stronger degree of gravity.

Stephen Baxter began his Xeelee Sequence in 1991 with his novel Raft, which was an Arthur C. Clarke Award nominee in 1992. The novels were written with the idea of being able to read as standalone novels. The series is currently ongoing.
