In addition to Lensmen and Dune, I reread Stephen R Dicksons Dorsai series every couple of years.
Mankind moves out into space and splits into multiple cultures. Over the centuries only four are going strong. 1. The Dorsai, the martial or fighting spirit. 2. The Exotics, the mental spirit. 3. The Freindlies, the true faith holders. 4. and old earth the original stock.
Now the human race needs the first three to recombine into old earth for the next great step forward, but there is opposition. 'The Others' who are of a mixture of 2 of the first three see them selves as mans masters and try to gain control of it all.
As to the Ember series. I talked to my son after reading the first 10 and he mention that the second 5 where half of a second story that was suppost to be 10 book long for a total of 15. The death of the author stopped it.
