    If you like hard sci-fi, his NASA series is excellent, especially Voyage and Titan. They describe expeditions to Mars and Titan using Apollo era technology, in such a believable fashion that you think it could have really happened.

    Love me some Stephen Baxter. Vacuum Diagrams is a great anthology of stories in this universe.

      Yes, this book is the start of the Xeelee sequence

      I’ve read through vacuum diagrams and have thoroughly enjoyed it. He has a bunch of other standalone books that are great.

      I’ve read the Long Earth which is co-authored with Terry Pratchett and loved it. Haven’t had the chance to read his solo works though.

        That’s a six book series, if I remember rightly. I love Pratchett’s stuff (Men at Arms is next on my Discworld reread) but I was thinking of his solo stuff. Normally I just start at the first published if I think I’ll enjoy the whole lot.
