 | 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: £4.99 / 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.
|
 | Foundation (The Foundation series) by Isaac Asimov
Buy new: £4.49 / Used from: £0.01 Probably the godfather of sci-fi, but often overlooked for the great reads that he can deliver. Check out the "Robot" series too.
|
 | The City And The Stars (S.F. Masterworks) by Arthur C. Clarke
Buy new: £4.56 / Used from: £0.79 Still bets known for the 2001 film, but he delivered some great books in a long career.
|

 | Neuromancer by William Gibson
Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £0.84 Hard sci fi and dak techno thriller. A modern classic and the original cyberpunk novel.
|
 | Consider Phlebas (The Culture) by Iain M. Banks
