I don’t think that’s quite in the same lane he’s asking for, but I completely second that recommendation

A science fiction reader for 55 years (I'm old), and no one comes close to Banks for me . Quite the most wonderful writer. Patrick O'Brian is the historical fiction author that evokes the same awe(and Terry Pratchett for humour).
