For nonfiction, Vijay Prashad and Domenico Losurdo both have a perfect hit rate for me so far.
For fiction, Adrian Tchaikovsky ranges from alright to incredible. He’s so prolific I’m not even close to completing his catalogue, but I’ve read over a dozen so far and while some have been much weaker than others, none have been bad.
