 | Revelation Space (Gollancz S.F.) by Alastair Reynolds
Buy used from: £0.01 Alistair Reynolds is probably one of te most accomplished and accessible of the harder sci fi authors. This is a personal favourite but any of his books deliver on storytelling.

 | Time by Stephen Baxter
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.01 Stephen Baxter delivers with hard sci fi her, but is equally good in his other trilogies. Look out for the Xeelee sequence as well.
