Pohl's "Heechee Saga" books (”Gateway" and its sequels) end up with humans getting involved in wars between a couple different God-Like Ancient Aliens who wanted to change various cosmological constants in ways that would make intelligent life more or less likely to happen.

They don't show up until like book 3 of the series though.

The Xeelee Sequence of books addresses similar ideas, except I'd argue that the Xeelee and the Photino Birds are several orders of magnitude above the Heechee and The Foe.
