I've heard good things about Leviathan I but haven't read it yet. It sounds really interesting.
I just finished Nancy Kress' Crossfire. A group of humans travel to a distant planet in order to colonize it. They're very surprised to find a group of aliens because that's the first time humans have met aliens in this setting. However, the aliens live in small huts and don't react to the humans at all. I've read other works from Kress and liked them more. Unfortunately, I didn't connect with any of the main characters: a lawyer, and the leader of the expedition, with a dark past, the very effective administrator, and the religious, pacifist leader with a rebellious daughter. Still, the aliens were very interesting and I always enjoy good exploration stuff.
