Have you tried Alastair Reynolds? One of the best hard sci-fi writers I’ve come across.



Would you recommend someone new to Reynolds start with Revelation Space or the Poseidon's Children trilogy?


I haven't read Poseidon's Children, but Revelation Space was amazing despite the fact that I'm a bigger fan of more optimistic and less gritty SciFi. The first book is really good and I read several others as well. Fantastic world-building.


Pushing Ice. It's a one-off and excellent taste test in case you don't want to commit to a series.
