Five sci-fi books like "Project Hail Mary"

At Book Riot Megan Mabee tagged five sci-fi titles like Project Hail Mary, including:
Hole in the Sky by Daniel H. Wilson

For those who love the first contact theme of Project Hail Mary, this tense new sci-fi by Daniel H. Wilson makes for another great read. As with Hail Mary, you’ll find plenty of high-stakes suspense as well as intriguing astronomical mysteries. As the Voyager probe has just passed by Heliopause, a place on the outskirts of the solar system, we meet a father named Jim living in the Osage Territory of Oklahoma, his daughter Tawny, a NASA engineer, a genius analyzing a curious “Pattern,” and a CIA investigator of strange phenomena.
