To pick a standalone and ignore trilogies and series, I'd suggest Dennis Taylor, Outland -- A standalone book, with excellent and technically convincing story telling. Narrated by Ray Porter who's a gifted and engaging narrator, and exceptionally rare for Audible narrators is an American with a good grasp of convincing foreign accents.
