Marrow - A group of people find a Jupiter sized ship of unknown origin and start a galactic cruise with many different species in the far high tech future.

The Stars My Destination

Starship Troopers - very different from the movie, sci-fi classic. Even on the Marines reading list.

Forever War - partially on Earth most in far flung space battles.

The Martian - solid Jew hard sci-fi again very different from the movie

Plenty more but, sadly sci-fi falls under Sturgeon's law.

Meant to say The Martian - Solid new hard sci-fi, very different from the movie.
