... strange, ancient civilizations and detailed worldbuilding?

The Book of the New Sun: Shadow & Claw by Gene Wolfe

The sense of wonder you felt exploring Mars’ enigmatic ruins will return tenfold as you journey with Severian through the vast, decaying Urth. Wolfe’s world is rich in history, myth, and alien cultures—every page is packed with tantalizing detail.

... encounters with varied and strange alien societies?

Planet of Adventure: City of the Chasch by Jack Vance

If ancient Martian societies fascinated you, you’ll be delighted by Adam Reith’s journey through Tschai, where he navigates the customs and power struggles of several bizarre and vividly imagined alien cultures. Vance crafts a world as alluring and dangerous as Brackett’s Mars.

... a blend of mythic adventure and science-fantasy?

The Dying Earth: Tales of the Dying Earth by Jack Vance

If you were drawn to the mythic undertones of The Sword of Rhiannon, you’ll love the whimsical, legendary feel of The Dying Earth. Its stories brim with ancient secrets, lost magic, and the decline of civilizations—evoking the same timeless sense of adventure.

... fast-paced, swashbuckling space adventure?

Nova by Samuel R. Delany

If Matt Carse’s action-packed exploits kept you turning the pages, you’ll be swept away by the daring escapades of Lorq Von Ray and his crew as they race across galaxies in Nova. Delany combines fast-moving plot with cosmic stakes and a touch of mythic resonance.
