What sci-fi would you recommend next? (lemmy.utveckla.re)

I have soon finshed all of The Expanse (which I have enjoyed immensely) and last month I finished Peter F Hilton’s Pandoras Star. While I enjoyed the second half of Pandoras Star, they (it’s a trilogy) are such heavy books with rather slow pace. One of my favorite reads last year was Recursion by Blake Crouch - it’s fast paced and just a plain joy to read. The same goes for The Martian and Project Hail Mary.

Given this, do you have any recommendations for what to read next?

I really enjoyed all the Polity novels by Neil Asher. They are more fantasy leaning than the Expanse and Pandora's Star but fit your bill for fast moving and fun to read.
