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?
A couple of standard favorites of mine:
The Fuzzy books by H. Beam Piper. First of three is even public domain:

These others may be harder to find… Steve Perry is known for his Star Wars and Aliens books, but he also has his own shared universe which is a good read:
