I should note that the series began in 1988 but Lee and Miller are still writing in the universe, if that counts as recent.
There's also Elizabeth Moon's Serrano series, which is delicious space opera, consistently providing strong women characters and high Bechdel passes, and also extremely handwavy as far as science, culture and, er, plot consistency goes. One of her later books had me throwing it across the room and saying, "Wait a second, wasn't there a war in the first chapter? What happened to it?"
