Are still good newer books written but you sorta have to look in the science-fiction section as most everything else tends to get formulaic.

Peter F Hamilton(Nights Dawn, Commonwealth and Void(trilogies), David Weber(Honor Harrington saga) and China Mieville(Perdido Street Station) would be a good place to start.

A somewhat older book that most people aren't aware of is Cosmic Banditos by A.C Weisbecker, that book is awesome, and it isn't science fiction....

The Honor Harrington saga would make a set of movies that would have Star Wars beat without breaking a sweat but that won't happen as they are decidedly right wing and that combined with a very strong female lead that is still actually female would make their heads explode anyway....

The Hamilton books would also do this if made into movies but they are also too sensible in their attitudes and narrative and would only be good if the complexity and nuance is kept and not mangled by way of Hollywood simplification.

Hell, they even managed to mangle Heinlein's Starship Troopers(which together with Tunnel In The Sky is his simplest books) and the 'Foundation' series is an utter woke mess trying to sell itself by namedropping the title and Asimov(put a spool of wire over his grave and the fillings in his teeth would probably induce a current in it because of the rate at which he's spinning in his grave over it...
