re: Looking for a good Sci fi book.

Old Man's War series by John Scalzi (also Redshirts)
Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons

These two are great. Also as mentioned by others the Expanse series is good stuff.

A few more that I haven't seen mentioned in thread yet I don't think:
The Gap series by Stephen R Donaldson (first book is kinda meh, but the last 4 books are some of the best Sci fi space opera ever IMO)

Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny is one of my favorites, kinda a sci fi and fantasy mix.

Tuf Voyaging by George R R Martin is great for humor and Sci Fi.

Iain Banks Culture Series

Neal Stephenson- Snow Crash

The Vorkosigan Saga by Louis Master Bujold

William Gibson- Neuromancer
