Peter Watts, Blindsight/Echopraxia (2 books, omnibus "Firefall")
-- Hard SF with an intense atmosphere verging on horror.

Robert J. Sawyer, The Neanderthal Parallax (3 books starting with "Hominids")
-- Clever alternative/parallel history setting, social contrasts.

C. J. Cherryh, The Morgaine Cycle (4 books, omnibus "The Complete Morgaine")
-- Science fantasy, bleak setting, great relationship between two main characters.

Karen Traviss, The Wess'har Wars (6 shortish books starting with "City of Pearl")
-- Nicely imagined alien cultures, ethics and politics. Ambitious, with a few easily-forgiven flaws.
The first sounds interesting
