Cloakedwand72 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 What are good hard science fiction books? That talk about reusable rocketry and artificial gravity and near future propulsion. Pls no political thrillers or religious thrillers I watched battle star and enjoyed the expanse. I want some books to check out on kindle bonus points if they got audio books.

I don’t like it, but you definitely would. Another one is a book called Space Case. It’s not a hard read, but it’s a fun book. It’s a murder mystery set on a moon base.

NexusHelium Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Basically anything Andy Weir meets all the scientific accuracy and fun at the same time but something like the Skyward series is great if you want a really neat twist on a sci-fi book.

HebaruSan Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Most things I've read by these authors have been pretty enjoyable, if you're willing to go a bit further-future: Iain M. Banks Alastair Reynolds Larry Niven (also wrote some great near-future stuff like Footfall) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
