There is a great book called The Algebraist that takes place in a gas giant. The scale is unfathomable. Highly recommend it, or the audiobook.

The author Iain M Banks was a cool dude. Sadly we lost him in 2014.

He fell into a gas giant.

He'd have preferred that to the pancreatic cancer that got him.

I'll send you a copy of the book if you fancy it.

Honestly it doesn’t sound like my cup of tea. I’m more into hard sci-fi, and also I don’t know how to read.

It is hard sci-fi. No FTL here. Granted it is grand in scale, but I don't think that should count against it.
