I am looking for books similar to "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft(ive pretty much read everything from lovecraft), "Eversion" by Alastair Reynolds, "Das Eulentor" by Alexander Gruber (dont know if this book ever released in another language), "The Hollow Places" by T. Kingfisher, I also tried reading "Ascension" by Nicholas Binge but it wasnt really to my taste. Hope you have some ideas. thx in advance

Even the first Rendezvous With Rama sequel (Rama Returns?) is pretty unreadable these days. You can tell distinctly which parts are written by AC Clarke and which by his co-author - Clarke retains the interesting science fiction, his co-author is too busy obsessing over which astronauts his two female characters are going to bang on any given day.
