Robert J Sawyer recommends
NecroTek (2024)
(Necrotek, book 1)
Jonathan Maberry
"If Alien scriptwriter Dan O'Bannon had teamed with H. P. Lovecraft to write a novel, it'd look a lot like Jonathan Maberry's NecroTek, a cosmic adventure that's both pulse-pounding and hair-raising. In space, only the ghosts can hear you scream."
To Each This World (2022)
Julie E Czerneda
"The search for the 21st-century's Larry Niven is now officially over. Julie E. Czerneda gives us a galaxy-spanning vision of credible aliens and high-stakes conflict. A wonderful book."
Hot Moon (2022)
(Apollo Rising, book 1)
Alan Smale
"Alan Smale is one of the brightest stars in the hard-SFfirmament, and Hot Moon is his best novel yet. Enjoy!"
