Alastair Mayer's T-Space Novels

T-Space - terraformed space - 50 light-years across with planets that were terraformed 65 million years ago. The only signs of intelligent aliens - aside from the terraformed planets themselves - are a few relatively primitive species who descended from terrestrial life transplanted by the mysterious Terraformers.

Or at least, that's the theory. The further out humans get, the weirder the things they find, including oddly familiar structures that no primitive civilization could have built...along with hints that the builders, or some other spacefaring species, are still around. But not necessarily friendly.

Furthermore, humans being humans, they're not all necessarily friendly with each other, either.
