I have picked up a couple of pretty-good SF novels by less-known authors. Best of those have been Fire with Fire by Charles Gannon and Constitution by Nick Webb. Both are space fiction. Fire with Fire is a free book from Amazon, so nothing lost but your time if you don't like it. I thought it felt a little bit unfinshed at the end, but since it's the first of a series, that may have been intentional. Constitution is available through Kindle Lending Library and Kindle Unlimited, so it can be inexpensive to check out.

And a book that I *just* finished and thought was marvelous is Harmony by C. F. Bentley. This was quite different from the other two in that it had very little technology in it and dealt more with human interactions -- a lost colony kind of story with a smattering of aliens.

One other author and series that I've found enjoyable has been Old Man's War by John Scalzi and its sequels.
