Read the expanse series if you haven't. It's good. Bio of a space tyrant is pretty good too, but definitely less hard sci-fi.
If you want something very different, try Malazan Book of the Fallen. It's fantasty, but the world building is outstanding.
Malazan Book of the Fallen is one of the best brick walls I've ever put my head through.
Lmao.
It's a lot, that's for sure. I'm on my first time through, and on book 5.
My friend got me hooked on them after my 3rd read of the Wheel of Time (speaking of brick walls)
Book 5 is my fave Malazan book! Once you have some time off after finishing the series, a re-read is so satisfying picking up all the clues you missed the first time around. Enjoy!
Second the expanse. I'm on the second book of the series and already bought the next two from the used book store. Very good and easy reading.
I think these are good recommendations, just not for OP.
