Hi all!
I am very new to sci-fi, usually reading fantasy novels. I need a break from fantasy after finishing Memories of Ice (Malazan BotF #3) and I've been thinking of trying out more sci-fi. The first and only sci-fi book I read was Project Hail Mary, and I liked it! Though, my favorite part of the book was the suspense I felt between Grace encountering the alien space ship and actually meeting the alien. It's that feeling of 'literally anything can be waiting' suspense that really got me.
So, I'm hoping someone can recommend a sci-fi book that carries that theme and suspense! Any ideas would be appreciated. I do prefer a more serious book, but I wouldn't be opposed to something more light-hearted.
