Never heard of them!

Where are the old standards I grew up with?

Like

Isaac Asimov
Robert A. Heinlein
A.E. Van Vogt
Theodore Sturgeon
Fred Saberhagen
Roger Zelazny
Clifford D. Simak
Eric Frank Russell



I haven't heard from them in awhile.

I almost think they're dead or something!

Should I read this novel by....(Let me get that name again. Just a moment....Ok, got it)....N. K. Jemisin?

I want stories where men are men and they enjoy racing back-and-forth through the length of their spaceship as they solve problems and venture into uncharted territories [alien worlds]. They don't smoke, but they like to take a belt or two when times are tough. When they're not being astrophysicists, they like working at newspapers - the center of power and the American way of life. Romance is Ok, but it must happen off-stage and quickly, so as not to pester the reader with unpleasant details or get in the way of the story.

Does this N. K. Jemisin woman write stories like the above?

Thanks for your help.
