I'll take a look at some of your recommendations!

Incidentally, I found
The Sparrow and
Children of God (Mary Doria Russell) to be "soft" on the science (as in, "tread softly", not negligent) and, although I have my own reasons for disliking the books, my opinion is formed out of respect for the writing and the stories (they're in the "first contact" sub-genre). Their popularity is certainly justified. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
