What are your favorite, decently-written, science fiction epics?
Trying to regain the escapist high I achieved last summer while reading The Mars Trilogy

I’m re-reading Red Mars now and love it even more this time around.
I’m shocked no one has mentioned The Expanse yet. Definitely a Big Epic Space Opera, but it’s decently written and extremely well paced.

I'd second everyone the Gene Wolfe recommendation. Le Guin's Hainish novels can be quite fun and epic. And of course Iain Banks's Culture novels.
Although I wouldn't describe any of those as "hard" SF.

Not to everyone's taste but "Too Like the Lightning" is an all time favorite of mine
It's extremely sociologically rich, some of the best world building I've ever seen
