The original poster's background is fantasy so I would recommend Randall Garrett's Lord Darcy series as a starting point. Not really science fiction but an excellent series using science fiction-like structure - Garrett builds an entirely believable world using laws of magic instead of laws of physics. Then I would go with Lester del Rey and perhaps some Ray Bradbury or Theodore Sturgeon.
