From team Good, Beautiful, and True:
For SF you can't beat John C. Wright's space opera StarQuest: Space Pirates of Andromeda.
Remember when you were so excited that Disney bought Star Wars because now you'd get the Star Wars you remembered? This is that book.

For YA J.M. Anjewierden's Mech Bunny
When you were a teen, (the golden age of SF is 12) and you wanted kick-butt mecha battles with uplifted animals, gruesome aliens and all the feels, this is the book you wanted. You'll shed a single manly tear.
