I think SF is alive and well but I do sometimes have a hard time finding new "hard" SciFi.
One of my favorite authors in "hard" SciFi would have to be Kim Stanley Robinson. I thought his Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy was amazing along with Antarctica (similar read as the Mars trilogy). I also enjoyed his "Science in the Capital" series although that was more the politics of science as opposed to the actual science.
For Military SciFi, I'm all about David Weber and Honor Harrington. I also have his Safehold series on my Kindle, waiting to be read.
