I am a big fan of Richard Morgan and his Takeshi Kovacs series.
Hmmm.. I really liked A Fire Upon the Deep, but I am not sure I would consider it Hard SF. Though set in the same universe (actually something of a prequel), A Deepness in the Sky is closer to Hard SF.

There are some really cool ideas in A Fire Upon the Deep, but certain aspects of it are too far out of our current understanding of the Universe to make it hard.
