Any recommendations? Didn't care for Bowl of Heaven

Frederik Pohl's Heechee Saga has some sweet BDO action. It's a little dated as the first book was written back in the seventies but it's not awful.

Shit, I think I want to write a BDO novelette now. This is all seriously a revelation. I haven't been this excited in years!

That's great news! Tag me, I wanna read the sorry.

Have you ever read Marrow? It's about a spaceship the size of Jupiter, with countless planet sized voids used for habitation...

Enjoyed the premise, but the ensigns were rushed, very much "and then something happened and they were all ok"
