Half Past Human and The Godwhale are pretty awesome and seem to be pretty forgotten. Dr. Bassler died last December and it didn't make a blip on any internet science fiction sites that I noticed.
While there are plenty of hard SF books that deal with physics and that sort of thing, these two books had some 'hard' biology, which I thought was pretty cool.
