Just finished reading John Scalzi's The Ghost Brigades, and liked it very much. It's a sequel to his Old Man's War, which I also very much liked. It's fresh, thoughtful, and readable; highly recommended.

I'll have to give Scalzi a try.
Try Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan for something "new". The Envoy stuff is just cool.
Alastair Reynolds too.
