I’m not sure what type of sci-fi you’re into, but All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai is really good.

Far future: Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee. Near future: Saturn Run by John Sanford and Ctein. Quick fun read: Old Mans War by John Scalzi. I second All Our Wrong Todays as being fantastic!

Who are your fav Sci-fi authors?

I really enjoyed Dark Matter by Blake Crouch. It is a multiverse story that asks you to evaluate the direction of your life. I don’t read much sci-fi, and I have a hunch that people who read more sci-fi than I do may not enjoy it as much.

This has seriously been one of my favorite new sci-fi books, the sequel For We Are Many, just makes me want the author to write faster.

Sleeping Giants. Just finished it and really like it. If you like more fantasy, try Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles (read them in order) or Benedict Jacka’s Alex Verus series.

@Louise I just loved EVERYTHING about that book. The main character? I *might* have developed a bit of a crush on him. MIGHT

Have you read the Ringworld series by Larry Niven?

Jay Posey!!! He’s fairly newer (I want to say he debuted in like 2014ish) but he is brilliant. The Legends Of The Duskwalker was his first series, Three is the first book of it…and WOW. Loved it!! 5 out of 5 stars (which I rarely ever do!) I’m on the third and last book of that series now. He’s also got a new series going (that’s set in space) called Outriders that I haven’t tried yet. But I’m sure it’s awesome. 😀

Leviathan Wakes the basis for the series The Expanse. There is 6 books in the series. I have read them all and would recommend them.

OOh if we are recommending movies, then I vote for Ex Machina. Love that one. Excellent acting, just superb.

Deepness in the Sky – Vernor Vinge. It’s one of the best hard sci-fi novels I’ve read, ever. It’s part of a series, technically, but it’s the best of the series and stands just fine on it’s own.

Ancillary Justice – Anne Leckie. First in a trilogy that I simply ADORE.

Both feature space, Deepness features aliens. Both are fantastic.

If you like classics, “War of the Worlds” was good and is a quick read.

You know… Jules Verne wrote many many books, not just the few we are all familiar with. I know I’ve decided to find some more Jules Verne and some more Ellery Queen.
