Charles E Gannon recommends
thumb
Nucleation (2020)
Kimberly Unger
"An inventive, exciting page turner that mixes mystery, bleeding edge technological speculation, and the promise of a potential sequel. If Grisham was a better wordsmith and chose to write hard sf thrillers, it would look a lot like Kimberly Unger's gripping Nucleation."
thumb
Hell's Horizon (2020)
Jonathan P Brazee and Richard Fox
"So,if what you want is high-octane, high-fidelity, highest-quality Military science fiction, your search is over: sign on for the action in Brazee and Fox's Hell's Horizon. I'm sure you'll be eager to extend your tour."

The Golem of Deneb Seven (2018)
Alex Shvartsman
"A wonderful fusion of hard SF and melancholy wisdom."
