I recently read (well, listened to) a quite good book by Stephen Moss. It originally caught my eye because the narrator was RC Bray, the guy who did the excellent narration of The Martian. Its is a hard science fiction novel about aliens invading Earth (I know how weird that sounds. Moss makes it work).

I recommend listening to the audiobook, because RC Bray is as excellent here as he was in the Martian.

Thanks! I have a soft spot for audiobooks too, as I can 'read' those while doing other stuff... like walking the dog or playing KSP.

Rocket Girls by Hōsuke Nojiri is also a good one.

It's an older series, but read the Foundation series by Issac Asimov.

Here's one I stumbled across recently.  I believe he has other online novels as well.

Loved it as a kid. It was one of my main reasons of getting an e-book: it has -so many- volumes, some of I had, some I got from a library, or friends... but I never had the chance to read -all- of them in a chronological order. Now I did.
