Book Recs for lesser-known pre-2000 SF? (sffa.community)

I've been revisiting Rebecca Ore's Alien series (published in the Ben Bova Presents series--Becoming Alien, Being Alien, and Human to Human), and it's made me think of Mary Gentle's Golden Witchbreed and other pre-2000 sci-fi.

Do you guys have any recs from that era? Not the big names, but the authors who put out a book or a trilogy or whatever that's just sort of stuck with you?

I don't know how big a name she is, but C.S. Friedman has a few brilliant books. Her books stuck with me for years. On the SF side I really enjoyed This Alien Shore and The Madness Season.
