The science feels accurate without being too in-your-face, and the drama is gripping.
Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy would be hard SF, as well as Andy Wier's The Martian, which I highly recommend.I'd Also recommend Larry Niven, Greg Bear, and Isaac Asimov.
Meanwhile I finished reading Deliver Her by Patricia Perry Donovan and have begun to read The Monster of Florence, a non-fic by Douglas Preston.
My quick review of Deliver Her:

Thank you very much, Dngrsone, for your suggestions of hard-SF books.
I'll definitely go for
Bones Burnt Black by
Stephen Euiyn Cobb and
Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy. I remember having read two novels by Kim Stanley Robinson, about 10-15 years back, viz.,
Icehenge and
Antarctica. I still have faded memories of their plots.
I'm fairly impressed with your review of
Deliver Her by
Patricia Perry Donovan, and I am anxious to read about the dead Cassie. I will go for it as soon the time allows me for that.
For now, I have added your recommendations in my wishlist. It's been a pleasure to meet you here.
