There's a noticeable lack of female authors in these lists!! OK, that may be because of the women whose books I enjoy, the majority write fantasy rather than science fiction. But there are a couple of authors I truly can recommend.
Try Julie E Czerneda. I just finished reading In the Company of Others for the second time and I'm getting ready to read her Stratification Series: Reap the Wild Wind, Riders of the Storm, and Rift in the Sky. I can heartily recommend her Species Imperative Series: Survival, Migration, and Regeneration.
The second author I'll recommend is C J Cherryh. Rider at the Gate is the first in her Nighthorse duology and Foreigner is the first in a series of at least 7 books (may be more by now).
And the third before I quit is S L Viehl. Her Stardoc series is outstanding. Start with Stardoc and read on through the eight others in this series.
