Your list of audio books is very similar to how I started. I stumbled across a torrent with a bunch of Hugo winners, and those were included.
Some recommendations off the top of my head:
And of more recent date, the "Dungeon Crawler Carl" series as released by sound booth Theater is pretty much the gold standard in Audio book production. Seems pretty shallow at first, but the sci-fi element becomes more and more prevalent with time, and it weaves a pretty interesting story. On top of being hilarious. I cannot recommend this series enough.
In addition to those, Discworld makes for some great audio books as well.
Project Hail Mary was my first thought when I read “audiobooks” and “sci-fi”. Not only is there an aspect to the story that lends itself particularly well to the audiobook format, but the narrator (Ray Porter) is so good I’ve sought out other books he’s narrated.
One of the single most enjoyable audiobooks I've ever "read". Was just thinking of starting it again this morning, I'll take this as a sign from the universe that I should.
I've just recently listened to book 1 of Dungeon Crawler Carl on audible. I'm really not sold on his partner(I won't say more than that). Just a style thing, it's not for me. However I'm enjoying it enough to continue reading more of them. Do you know if there are different audio book versions?
I read He Who Fights With Monsters and have really enjoyed the voice work in that series.
I only know of the version I've heard on Audible, and that's the Sound Booth Theater one (autocorrect butchered the studio name in my comment. Fixed)
Ahh okay cool that is the one I just finished
