I feel like I have read quite a few books that I felt that way about, but it's always hard to bring them to mind when someone asks. That said, the first few that popped into my head:
If you love The Martian, you are going to love Project Hail Mary. The audiobook is really good as well.
+1 for Project Hail Mary, the paper edition at least. Had me gripped.
+1 for Cradle, I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I was going to
Absolutely love cradle. Sad that it's over now
4th book was such a disappointment.
Overall message too, somehow went from "we are the avantgarde of transhumanism and the universe is our playground" straight up to something like "i wish 50's back". Every single Bob turned to either flat meme or boomer.
