    @BrowningMachine I want to get my husband a 'hard' Sci-Fi novel for Christmas. Only problem is I know literally nothing about Sci-Fi novels, but you and @MorlockP do. I've already bought Morlock's books, but beyond that...not really my area. Any recommendations?

        Seconded for Ringworld. It is a gateway into some deep world building.

        One of my first Scifi books was Greg Bears Forge of God. Finished it and hated it. Felt specifically designed to depress the reader. Found mil SF shortly after

        May I suggest the The Hidden Truth, 3 book series by Hans G. Schantz? An alternate history technothriller with a hard focus on physics and engineering complete with equations and diagrams and all wrapped up in a centuries old conspiracy and liberally drenched with action scenes!

        I was thinking Heinlein, and noticing his "hard" sf novels are generally his juveniles. Depending on how you want to classify a few things. But I stand by "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel" regardless. Anything by Iain M. Banks, but especially Player of Games

        I don't know how "hard" a portal that people just walk through and step onto a planet light-years away is, but speaking of his juveniles, "Tunnel in the Sky" is still one of my favorite classic SF novels.

        Those, plus Protector by Niven and Tau Zero by Poul Anderson.

        If Ringworld (the "big dumb object" novel par excellence, with maybe Rendezvous with Rama as a peer) then perhaps Bowl of Heaven (and Shipstar, those two make one book…), the "big smart object" novel by Niven & Benford.
