I am looking for recommendations for good sci-fi authors. Preferably authors and books within the last 20 years.

I understand that opinions are subjective.

Thanks.

'The Fourth Law'.
The Machine Civilization universe tends to sprawl with references and
cameo appearances of characters you may not have met.

[...] Porretto's 'Which Art in Hope' from the Spooner Federation

Frederick Pohl. If you read the 'Eschaton' trology, which are his best
works, (5 books), be sure to do them in proper order.

Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series. The series stars
Peter Grant, a mixed race London Police Constable/apprentice
wizard. This is an excellent series.

But if you want a lot of recommendations you should take this
request to rec.arts.sf.written. There are a lot of people
who are really interested in science fiction and fantasy.

I took his "sci-fi" literally, and excluded my favorite fantasy authors (of
whom Aaronvitch is one). If we're going there, I'd add:

Terry Pratchett
Jim Butcher
Neil Gaiman
Kevin Hearne
And, with some trepidation, Patrick Rothfuss (although I expect I might be
dead before his finishes the damned trilogy).

Sorry to self-follow-up, but the 'Eschaton' trilogy was a trilogy.

And I just noticed at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._Frederik_Pohl

that the 'Heechee' saga is six books, the last of which is new to me, so
thanks, AK. I'm sure I will enjoy reading it!

Thanks to all who gave me plenty of authors.

That's better than Martin who probably will be dead before he finishes
his whatever.

I enjoyed Larry Correia's Monster Hunter series but wasn't as
enthusiastic about the magic oriented books.

Eric Flint's 1632 and the follow-ons are good too. Flint was a cofounder
of the Baen Free Library:

There are a number of short story collections for variety as well as
full length works. His 1632 is there, one of Correia''s, several by
Drake, and other authors. The price is right and if you like an author
Baen has a lot of non-free books.

Disclaimer: Flint is as far left as they come but it seldom seeps
through into his fiction.

I liked 1632, but not so much the follow-on stuff.

Really? Sure, he's for the workers and against the bosses, but
so was my grandfather. Overall I thought 1632 displayed rather
"old-fashioned" values. I suppose the one doesn't preclude the
other.
