i've been getting my feet wet with space opera lately and would like to get back into the harder stuff. who are the heavy hitters out there right now? the last hard sf i read was probably the first couple of McDevitts Engines of God Series and Bova's "Grand Tour" series i.e. Mercury, Venus, Titan, etc so its been a few years and was wondering if anybody still writes in the genre.

I'd prefer to keep it light on military action and heavy on the space travel/planet exploration. Thanks.
