Just finished Douglas Preston's Extinction and liked it. I like some his books (and some of the ones the ones co-written with Childs) but not all. Don't much care for his Pendergast books. Extinction: think Jurassic Park with mammals. An older book of his (theirs? Can't remember) that I liked was Riptide, loosely based on the now well known Oak Island story, but written long before the TV series. Yeah, I follow the series because I read the same Readers' Digest story that the brothers did, way back when I was in college, which dates me pretty well.

Reading Till we are lost, one of the Bobiverse series by Dennis Taylor. Good fun, and it got me thinking of what a good fundamental scenario the series presents. If you've got an endearing protagonist, why not have a handful of replicants just like him, but diverging according to their experiences? It's perfect for maintaining multiple storylines.
I was enjoying these, but the one before this one (Heaven's river?) got really long. I made it through, but kinda lost interest. Does this one get back to what 1-3 felt like?
In reply to TravisTheHuman :
Funny you should say that. I had the exact same experience. Finished Heavens River and walked away for a couple of years. This one starts a little slow, but warms up nicely.
All the Light We Cannot See.
Highly recommended.

I'm just finishing "A City on Mars" which is an exhaustive exploration of both the feasibility and wisdom of space exploration. It does not lack detail.
