I could use some sci-fi audio book recommendations. Anyone got some suggestions?
@brianokken for traditional-ish, "hard" sci-fi: the Bobiverse books by Dennis E. Taylor, read by Ray Porter. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, also read by Ray Porter. Also kinda The Spare Man by Mary Robinette Kowal, read by herself, although it's really a murder mystery in a hard sci-fi setting. For slightly less traditional, Kowal's Lady Astronaut series, also read by herself. Both Porter and Kowal are _excellent_ narrators.
@brianokken I should also mention the Old Man's War series by John Scalzi, read by the late William Dufries, who was also an incredibly good narrator (although he did swap some voices around between books), and the Dispatcher series by Scalzi, read by Zachary Quinto, who is a really good choice for those books. (I would recommend more Scalzi except I can't stand Wil Wheaton's narration for some reason. That might just be me, so if he works for you, all his standalones are fun, as is Lock In.)
@Yhg1s @brianokken Wil Wheaton really is an annoying narrator. He is the only narrator where I will just not listen to a book if he is reading it.
@pganssle @Yhg1s @brianokken I'm glad to know it's not just me. I have nothing against Wil Wheaton, but he is on a nails-on-a-chalkboard level annoying to me, which will cause me to stop watching whatever he appears in.
