Hi everyone! I've been really focused on explain for the past month or so. I watched the Artemis II livestream coverage, then I read multiple nonfiction books about the history of NASA, saw Project Hail Mary in theaters, watched documentaries about the universe, and listened to NASA's official podcast. Now that my brain is full of real-life space knowledge, I'm looking for fiction!
I'm open to litfic or science fiction, as long as space exploration is a major part of the story. If it's got horror elements that would be even better.
Books I've enjoyed:
The Martian by Andy Weir
Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers
A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine

***The Legacy of Heorot*** by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Steven Barnes. It’s classified as sci-fi horror, but I didn’t see much horror in it. The story itself has two (very apparent) sections, presumably a result of dividing up the effort among the three writers.
The story is about a planet colonization gone wrong.
