The latest hard science fiction books
Hard science fiction takes its science seriously. The physics is real, the engineering is worked out, and the plot often turns on solving a technical problem with what is at hand. If you enjoy orbital mechanics, first contact done plausibly, or survival by ingenuity, you will find the books here rewarding. The newest come first.
