What are your favorite standalone Sci-Fi novels?Answer
Sometimes you just want a complete story where everything's cleaned up at the end and there's no need to read the next 2 or 3 or sometimes more books. They could be classic or modern, but I'm looking for books that are undeniably sci-fi.

Why this book?
A story about a farming colony that receives a spaceship every 15 years that comes and picks up their produce. Due to the effects of space travel, those on the ship don't see that much time pass in comparison, so each time they return to the planet the people there have aged significantly, which I thought was a pretty neat plot point. Overall it has quite a bittersweet tone but I really enjoyed it!
