Alfred Bester (GOD yes) Theodore Sturgeon Philip K. Dick
Upon command, I can cheerfully draw up a list of the /very best/ in scifi literature from across several different eras. Or, you can do what my husband does: Whip out a list of the Hugo and Nebula award winners/nominees for each year (easily findable on the net) and just start picking books from them. :>
P.S. I think Piers Anthony is like that for everyone... Although his Bio of a Space Tyrant series was... cough... quite adult.
From a review on the net: While Bio of a Space Tyrant is indeed a juvenile looking and sounding book, I must caution that it is not by far. Much of the storyline, and especially throughout Refugee, is very gory, sexual and brutal. It is rife with senseless violence, so if you're in the mood for a space drama that has no qualms about melting people with warp drive engines and providing the wonderfully gory and detailed results, or the bloody mass rape of entire stocks of women, this is your cup of tea. Or should I say blood?
