42/ Souls in the Great Machine, by Sean McMullen. very odd post apocalyptic novel where the exact nature of the apocalypse is unclear, but the remnant orbiting weapons can still be seen with the naked eye, and the mutated sea mammals still use their Call to lure humans to doom

45/ Deep Drive by Alexander Jablokov. The solar system has been visited by dozens of aliens, but they won't sell humans the technology to travel to the stars. Intrigue happens.
