Kent Sharkey wrote: any recent novels like Niven's Known Space stuff out there anymore?
Can't tell as I do not recognise that one, so I suppose I didn't read it.
Have you read "Limit" by Frank Schätzing?
EDIT: I agree with some of the comments, it looks like quite biased. I miss some good books in there.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Have you read David Weber's Honon Harrington series? I liked it a lot.

Always was a fan of Niven. But haven't read anything along that line in awhile. I have 3 authors who I recently have been enjoying.
Jack McDevitt - quite far into the future and mankind had colonized everything. Kind of interesting. Takes a human interest bent alot of times.
Joel Shepard - I call these my Sci Fi Soap Operas. I really like his latest series. But the Science isn't that sciency at all. kind of wink at science but the battles are spectacular.
Christopher Nuttall - like him alot. Especially the Empire corps series. But he is quite political. But I enjoy the logical deductions and arguments he is throwing around and like to argue for and against that in my head.
To err is human to really elephant it up you need a computer

Those Jack McDevitt books look like they might scratch the itch, thank you! (others added just in case as well)

I 2nd Jack McDevitt: Chindi was my first, but I've read all his others too, and wasn't disappointed.
Allen Steele - Coyote series was pretty good too.

need more BOLO books.

Agreed. Laumer's original Bolo stories and the novels written by others are on my "rationed" reading list. I only let myself re-read them every so often to avoid having them become stale.
One of the surprising joys of late middle age / early senior-hood has been that I remember plot-lines less now than I used to. This makes re-reading something a lot more enjoyable.

I have decided not to kill myself today. I have found a fellow BOLO believer . The first part was a joke.

I'll go way back in a second, but I have found the biggest problem with most modern fictional writers is that the series never ends. It's like they write a book and people like it. They are surprised so that just start adding one after the other with no overall plan.
One series I got into: The Lost Fleet by Jack Campbell. It was great for the first 3 books, then another 3 came out, and I think there is even more now. FOCUS. The worst is Kindle Unlimited. One series I got into is now over 20+ releases, the original subjects have died, they are now into great grand children. It just never ends.
I will recommend "Old Man's War" series.
Now, going way back, "Nine Princes of Amber"
